Bevo and Hook โ€™Em remain beloved mascots, but there’s no record of an international parade or an โ€œESPN crownโ€ .

His career is highlighted on Wikipedia and BYU’s official siteโ€”citing his decades of play-by-play workโ€”but there’s no mention of a recent national award .

This appears to be false or misleadingโ€”likely exaggerated or entirely unfounded. No reputable source confirms such a national accolade, and ESPN has not reported it.

Hereโ€™s what we do know from reliable sources: UNC recently offered 2026 four-star PF Quinnโ€ฏCostello, a 6’9″ Boston prospect, after his standout showing at Pangos All-American Camp. This was reported by Tar Heel Blog . UNC has offered several topโ€‘ranked 2026 prospectsโ€”such as five-stars Deronโ€ฏRippeyโ€ฏJr., Calebโ€ฏHolt, Miikkaโ€ฏMuurinen, Anthonyโ€ฏThompson, and othersโ€”though none have committed yet .
