The No. 1 Texas Longhorns will be opening up the regular season on Saturday in Columbus against the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes ...

Texas isn't bringing famed live mascot Bevo, a 2,100-pound steer, to Ohio Stadium for its Aug. 30 opener against Buckeyes.

The 1,700-pound Bevo, who also has a horn span of 58 inches, would need a sizeable enclosure to accommodate him, and Mercedez-Benz Stadium is apparently not large enough to support such an enclosure.

Texas Longhorns mascot Bevo is walked into the stadium before a game against the Georgia Bulldogs at Darrell K Royal — Texas Memorial Stadium Oct. 19, 2024, in Austin, Texas.

Bevo's owners, Betty and John T. Baker, have owned the last three UT mascots. They said they teach Bevo's handlers how to keep him calm without using sedatives.

According to NPR, Bevo, the towering 1,600-lb. steer that serves as the Texas Longhorns’ mascot, charged at the University of Georgia’s animal mascot, Uga, the 62-lb. English bulldog.

The current Bevo has served as the team’s mascot since September 2016. He weighs over 1,700 pounds and has a horn span of 58 inches, though his horns will continue to grow throughout his life.

The Texas Longhorns' live mascot Bevo will not be able to travel to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, organizers for the game said Monday. Texas plays Arizona State in the CFP.

Sunrise Spur, Bevo’s XV real name, has been Texas’ mascot since the start of the 2016 season. Wagner is seeking a jury trial with damages between $200,000 and $1 million.
