Reveille X, the latest iteration of Agggies -mascot, has been patrolling the team’s sidelines since the 2021 season. A soup -up golf cart known as “Rev Force One” helps transport the collia across campus.
Welsh said Reveille will need some time from her duties as she continues to recover. However, the long -haired collie is expected to be able to resume engagements in the fall.

“According to her veterinary team, we can expect Miss Rev to be back to enjoy all her favorite activities – cruise on the Rev Force One, participate in classes, cheer on Agggies and keep our campus squirrel in line – in the fall,” he said.
Texas A&M went 8-5 last season during first-year head coach Mike Elko.
