UConn's fearless mascot is getting ready to pass the leash to his successor.

The school says, Jonathan XV will replace Jonathan XIV who will retire.

Jonathan XIV will still continue to enjoy campus life.

A co-chair of APO's Husky Committee says in part that, "He'll enjoy watching his little brother take the reins on basketball games and other big, loud events. He'll still get plenty of excitement and playtime from his handlers and his family."

The "changing of the collar" will be held this Sunday at halftime on Gampel Pavilion's center court during the men's basketball game.
