A rookie will have to step up in a big moment under the bright lights.

Bullet V is set to make its debut on Saturday against Texas Tech after Bullet IV underwent an emergency procedure after a brief illness. OSU announced the news Friday, with the good news being Bullet IV is doing well and will return to duty next fall.

“In the meantime, Bullet V will make an earlier-than-anticipated debut on Saturday against Texas Tech,” read OSU Athletics’ release. “While he is young and still learning this important role, we have every confidence in him and Spirit Rider, Olivia, as they begin this exciting journey together.

“Oklahoma State Athletics would like to thank our incredible veterinary team for their exceptional care and our fans for their continued support of both Bullet IV and Bullet V.”

Bullet, which is Oklahoma State’s live mascot if you’re new here, has been earning its NIL money this season.

The Cowboys scored a dozen touchdowns at home last season. They matched that in their first two home games in 2026 and have 23 touchdowns in just four home games to this point in the year.

So the rookie likely won’t be short on opportunities on Saturday night.
