- WHO'S WORN THE SUIT? -
The first three to suit up as Cosmo the Cougar were Daniel T. Gallego (1953–54), Clive Moon (1954-55), and Ray Pope (1955–56). The first female Cosmo, Peggy Herron Mortensen shared the role with Ray Pope in 1956. To fit in the Cosmo suit, she wore padding and slipped her own shoes inside the ones attached to the suit. BYU president Ernest L. Wilkinson once put on the costume at a pep rally. LaVell Edwards, the legendary football coach for the Cougars, wore the Cosmo costume during the final season basketball game against Utah in 1981.
Since then, there have been many who have suited up. List of Names:
