Visitors to the University of Tennessee-Knoxville will be seeing a lot more of their favorite dog, Smokey, on campus.

The university will unveil 10 statues of the bluetick hound, one for each dog that has been the mascot. Statutes will be placed around campus, everywhere from the UT Gardens to the Student Union Pedestrian Bridge. A map of all the statue locations is available on UT's website.

The statues will be officially unveiled on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. near the Pedestrian Bridge by the Student Union Plaza, before the annual Orange and White Game.

The idea for the statues came from Student Government Association members "who wanted a statue designed and erected on campus to honor Smokey," according to a release from UT.

“We’re proud of our campus traditions, and this seemed like a unique and exciting way to celebrate one of our longest-running traditions,” said Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Jeff Maples.

The statues will be made of fiberglass and slightly larger than life size, according to the release.

The first Smokey debuted during the Sept. 26, 1953 football game against Mississippi State. Since then, there have been 10 dogs who served as the Smokey mascot.

In March, the bluetick coonhound was named the official state dog of Tennessee by Gov. Bill Lee.
