The Texas Tech football stadium project got a $5 million boost on Thursday courtesy of Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.
According to a press release, the $5 million will go towards the $242 million South End Zone and Dustin R. Womble Football Center project. The $5 million that Patrick Mahomes and his wife are donating marks the final gift for the historic Campaign for Fearless Champions.
“When we first launched this campaign, Patrick was only a freshman and now it is fitting that we approach the end of the campaign with a gift of his own,” Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt said in a statement. “We couldn’t be prouder to announce this gift from Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. We are so proud of Patrick for all he has accomplished and how he has continually supported Texas Tech on a global scale.”
Texas Tech plans to name its walkthrough area at the Womble Football Center after Mahomes thanks to his donation. Also, Texas Tech’s quarterback room and the offensive coordinator’s office in the New South End Zone building will be named after Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes spent three years as the Red Raiders quarterback, before being drafted in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes finished his Texas Tech career with over 11,000 passing yards, 93 touchdown passes and 29 interceptions.
Mahomes has since went on to win three Super Bowls to go along with three Super Bowl MVPs.
