Lee Corso can rest easy now that his recovered. A grinning, over-sized head of ESPN’s Lee Corso, had been stolen. Oregon State Police said, two days after it was reported stolen it has now been found and they have also apprehended the two suspects.
Leland “Lee” Corso is a sports broadcaster and football analyst for ESPN. He has been featured on ESPN’s College Game Day program since its inception and he appeared annually as an analyst in EA Sports’ NCAA Football through NCAA Football 10.
According to the OSP, August Michael Zane Cuneo, 26, of Eugene took the mascot head from the memorial Union Quad, walked away from the area and hid it in some bushes until Alexander Joseph Westerberg, 25, from Harrisburg arrived in a car.
The missing oversized Corso head was recovered late Monday morning and is now in the hands of Oregon State Police.
According to OSP Lieutenant Jeff Lanz, an Oregon State University employee called late Monday morning, saying the mascot head was near his vehicle at his Harrisburg-area residence.
The hunt for Corso’s head gained national awareness on Sunday, when ESPN reporter Erin Andrews used her Twitter account to request that it be returned.
Corso was in Corvallis on Saturday as part of ESPN’s College Game Day crew, which broadcast from there prior to the nationally televised football game between the Ducks and Beavers. Corso is known for donning the head of a team’s mascot after making a pregame prediction that they’ll win.
