Missouri's beloved mascot, Truman the Tiger, is set to make his EA College Football video game debut, in the newest edition of the game releasing on July 10. Truman is one of 37 mascots to miss the cut in EA College Football 25 that will appear in EA College Football 26, including Missouri rivals Big Jay (Kansas Jayhawks) and Big Red (Arkansas Razorbacks).

"Mascots are more than just characters in costumes; they symbolize school pride, rallying fans and players alike," EA College Football 26's column reads. "Each mascot has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the spirit of their school, ensuring they feel real and authentic."

Missouri had been known as the Tigers for years, but Truman's first official appearance was during a Missouri-Utah State football game in 1986. He was originally designed by the trio of Jack Lengyel, Dick Tamburo and Joe Castiglione. Truman the Tiger has been named Best Mascot in the Nation twice, once in 2004, and a second time in 2014.

“The family feel of the volleyball program specifically is what took me to Mizzou. And not to mention, I would get to train under Deng Yang, who is a very successful setter/player and coach that played at the highest level in China. I knew under her guidance, I could become the best setter I could possibly be.”Lindsey Hunter James
