COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - As hundreds of graduates from the University of South Carolina walked the stage, one stood out with a pair of yellow feet.
Nicole Hurley was revealed as the identity of USC mascot Cocky on Friday. Hurley is now a graduate of the College of Nursing.
“Cocky has been caring for our community in more ways than one,” USC said in a Facebook post. “After graduating today, she is trading in her yellow feet for nursing scrubs.”
