Rocky is seen at every USF home game and meet for all sports and wears the jersey of whatever sport is being played. Rocky won the Capital One Mascot Challenge in 2013, being voted as the best college mascot in the country. The win earned USF $20,000 toward the mascot program. Cheerleading and Dance The USF cheerleading program consists of two teams: a co-ed team and a competitive all-girl squad, which compete at the Universal Cheerleaders Association College Nationals. Both the all-girl squad and co-ed team continually rank among the top competitive college squads in the nation. The co-ed team won three consecutive UCA Division I-A national championships in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The all-girl squad won the national championship for the gameday event in 2023.
