Lil' Red is one of two active mascots of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Created in 1993 to represent the school's volleyball team and appeal to younger fans, he quickly became popular and his use was expanded across all sports. Lil' Red is depicted as an inflatable farm boy wearing red overalls and a sideways hat, and is often seen with Herbie Husker.
