Our men’s teams are nicknamed the Wonder Boys in honor of football legend John Tucker.

Tucker, the original Wonder Boy, led the ATU team to unprecedented success in the 1920s.

Female student athletes in the 1970s selected the nickname Golden Suns to represent women’s athletics at ATU. After a 76-year absence, Jerry the Bulldog was reintroduced as the university Campus Ambassador in 2013. He supports ATU students by attending athletic events, campus carnivals and preview days. His persistent attitude and grit are symbolic of the obstacles many students overcome to achieve their education. Just like the words of the ATU fight song, Jerry represents how we Fight On.
