Rose Rosas
2025-2026 Masked Rider

Rose Rosas is the 64th Masked Rider for the Texas Tech University Spirit Program. The junior is a first-generation college student who grew up in Brady, Texas and is the middle of five siblings. While she wasn’t born into ranching life, Rose has flourished thanks to experiences and opportunities working with tenured experts in the agriculture industry. She served as an assistant under 62nd Masked Rider Lauren Bloss and 63rd Masked Rider Ellie Brown.
 
The demands of a Masked Rider begin the moment they take the reins and Rose is no exception. She looks to not only continue to honor the legacy of the role but to build upon it while encouraging others to aspire to greater things, not just in a collegiate setting, but life.
 
“Being the Masked Rider isn’t just my dream, it’s a reminder to every Red Raider that they have to power to rise, represent and inspire.”
