Meet Stinger: Alabama State University’s Hornet Mascot

As a longtime fan of Alabama State University, I can personally share how Stinger, the hornet mascot, brings an electrifying energy to every sports event and campus celebration. Whenever the Hornets take the field, Stinger's presence not only pumps up the crowd but also symbolizes the resilience and unity of the ASU community. Sporting the bold black and old gold colors, Stinger embodies more than just school spirit — it represents tradition and a deep sense of pride. I've noticed that his appearances resonate especially well during crucial games, where the mascot rallies support and encourages both players and fans alike. The memorable moment when ASU scored 62 points in a game (as seen on jerseys) is just one example of the exciting victories Stinger has rallied behind. What I appreciate most is how Stinger's role extends beyond sports. From welcoming prospective students to energizing pep rallies and community events, this mascot truly serves as an ambassador of ASU's values and culture. Whether you're an alumnus, student, or visitor, Stinger leaves a lasting impression that highlights the vibrant spirit of Alabama State University.
