Smokey XI

Smokey XI has started training to become the next mascot of the University of Tennessee. He will make appearances throughout the 2022-23 academic year, preparing him for full-time duties.

PERSONAL

Born Aug. 8, 2021 at Davis Branch Blueticks in Shelbyville, Tennessee.
Son of Smokey X (papa) and Tennessee Sweet T (mama)
Was one of seven pups in his litter.
Three of his siblings found homes with former Smokey handlers from UT's agricultural fraternity, Alpha Gamma Rho.
Follows in the paw prints of his papa, Smokey X, who began his official duties with Tennessee Athletics in 2013.
Lives with the Hudson family—Cindy, Sam and Katherine—in Knoxville.
His nickname at the Hudson house is Bernie, and his brother there is Ernest; those nicknames are in honor of the famous 1970s Tennessee basketball duo, Bernard King and Ernie Grunfeld.
Enjoys chewing on his right ear during his down time.
His evening routine includes snuggling before falling asleep in his favorite recliner.
