Ole Miss will have a new mascot lurking on the sidelines of its athletic events -- a Landshark.
Ole Miss chancellor Jeffrey Vitter announced the change Friday, adding the univesrity will still be known as the Rebels.
"The growth of the Landshark mystique over the last seven years has been phenomenal with every athletics team embracing it, including such standouts as Marshall Henderson with basketball and Kaitlin Lee with softball, in leading their respective teams to SEC championships," Vitter said in a statement.
The term Landshark originated in 2008 and was quickly adopted by the football team's defensive unit, according to the athletic department.
