There is no doubt about it that Patrick Mahomes is one of the passionate fans of his alma mater, Texas Tech. That’s the reson the Kansas City Chiefs’s QB wears his Texas Tech pride like a badge of honor. Whenever his school takes a competitive stage, he’s right there cheering them on. And Friday night was no different!

As the Red Raiders pulled off an unbelievable comeback against Arkansas in the Sweet 16, Patrick Mahomes was all in, living every moment of the madness. On March 28, the quarterback shared a story on his official Instagram account, featuring a photo of him hyping his Texas team.

In this new update, Patrick Mahomes is seen stretching in a gym, as a part of his training routine. Nothing new about it right? Well, don’t miss to learn that he was wearing a Texas Tech Red Raiders shirt and shorts, showing love for his alma mater. Along with this, the three-time Super Bowl champ wrote: “You already know! @texastechmbb,” showing his support for Texas Tech after their win over Arkansas.

But the school thing isn’t just the reason for his hype for this basketball team. Of course, Patrick Mahomes has invested in the team’s athletic program. To the people who are unaware, the quarterback has shown his support by initiating a program last year – “Team Mahomes.” This group received an NIL deal from Mahomes and Adidas, as the QB invested $5 million for his alma mater.

Now the team has won. And what a comeback! You surely can’t miss when Arkansas were leading by double digits multiple times, Texas Tech stormed back. They snatched an 85-83 overtime win in the Sweet 16, resulting in a heartbreaking loss for the Razorbacks. Hence, as the team won on Thursday night, Patrick Mahomes was unable to hold his excitement for much long.

Patrick Mahomes lived the winner’s life on Thursday!

Before hyping up his team in Friday’s workouts, Patrick Mahomes dropped the celebratory post of his school on X. He shared a tweet of Texas Tech University, which featured a celebration picture of Chris Anderson Jr, with a caption – “Toughest team won. MarchMadness.” While reposting the same tweet, Patrick Mahomes dropped his message, saying, “Toughest Team Wins!!!!” calling his team the toughest of all. For Mahomes, it’s definitely a proud moment to not only see his team win, but also to see the team donning his jersey on multiple competitive stages.

Yes! A few years ago, at a fundraising event in Hawai’i, Patrick Mahomes had a dream. Sitting next to Texas Tech’s athletics director, he shared an idea straight from the heart. He didn’t just want to support his alma mater, he wanted his name to be part of it forever. At the time, the Red Raiders were considering extending its contract with Under Armour. But Mahomes had a different vision.

Patrick Mahomes had just signed with Adidas and saw a bigger opportunity. Why not switch to Adidas and include his own brand, “Gladiator,” in the deal? That casual conversation turned into something huge. By 2024, Texas Tech made the jump to Adidas, signing a 10-year deal. And in a moment that meant everything to Mahomes, his Gladiator logo appeared on the team’s jerseys for a home game against Colorado.

That moment turned out to be extremely special for the QB, who later said, “Seeing my own logo on the Texas Tech uniform I put so much blood, sweat and tears in is one of the most meaningful off-field accomplishments of my career.” Now on the field, Patrick Mahomes is refueling himself back for a Super Bowl once again.
