How Lee Corso became known for his signature headgear picks

He started his signature headgear pick in 1996, continuing for years until his final pick last weekend. It was a full circle moment for Corso, who picked his first headgear at Ohio State and made his final pick at the same venue.

He was right on both occasions, staying true to his reputation for making correct predictions. Before his final pick at Ohio State on Saturday, Lee Corso had made 286 correct picks as opposed to 144 incorrect picks. His had a winning rate of 67%, per ESPN.

The Buckeyes were Corso’s favorite team, having picked them 45 times before picking them to beat Texas again on Saturday. 31 out of the 45 times, he predicted correctly, giving him a 69% success rate when picking the Buckeyes.

Corso retired last week to different honors for a long and successful career, including a touching gesture in his hometown of Lake Mary, Florida. The Seminole Board of County Commissioners declared Aug. 26, 2025, as Lee Corso Day in the county.
