Lil Rowdy to make appearances at games, community events and on social media

Wright State Athletics announced today that it will introduce a live mascot – known as Lil Rowdy – at the start of the 2026-27 competition season.

Fans can expect Lil Rowdy to make appearances at games, community events and on social media, where the mascot has already been described as "cute and cuddly."

Ahh, who are we kidding? It's April Fools' Day.

But while you are here, check out some of the tickets we have available and support your favorite Raiders – the Raidergang is home this weekend against Northern Kentucky, and season ticket renewals for the 2026-27 Wright State men's and women's basketball seasons are now available.

Can't make it to a game, but you still want to back the Raiders? Visit the Raider Athletic Fund and support our student-athletes today.

And who knows, maybe Lil Rowdy will make an appearance at some point.
