Title
Awesome Eagle
Description
The mascot for Tennessee Tech. Our mascot has gone through three name changes and numerous costumes. Golden Eagle was the original name in 1962-1974. The name changed again in 1975 to “Evel Eagle” referring to Evel Knievel because of the daredevil stunts performed at games. In the late 1970s, “Tommy” was actually the struttin’ Eagle logo, rather than a suited mascot. “Tommy Tech” came from the “TT” on his sweater. In 1985, the final name change was made to Awesome Eagle. Awesome Eagle is a two-time, consecutive UCA National Championship title winner (2014-2015).
