Texas Tech to enshrine Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in Hall of Fame, Ring of Honor
[ad_1]
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes hasn’t even started the NFL’s upcoming regular season and he already has a new honor.
Mahomes’ Alma Mater, Texas Tech, has announced that he’ll be enshrined in their prestigious Ring of Honor and Hall of Fame. Established in 2012, the Texas Tech HOF is reserved for “the best of the best” in school history.
“When you look at the face of the NFL, that is Patrick Mahomes,” Texas Tech Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt said, via press release. “Patrick’s accomplishments at Texas Tech are well documented with his success as one of the top quarterbacks in college football history. Patrick is an NFL MVP and a Super Bowl champion, but he’s, most importantly, a Red Raider who remains an avid supporter of our great university. We are excited to welcome home Patrick and his family later this fall to see his name formally honored inside Jones AT&T Stadium.”
Mahomes will join former Chiefs two-way player E.J. Holub (2012), DonnyAnderson (2012), Dave Parks (2012), Gabe Rivera (2014), Zach Thomas (2016), Michael Crabtree (2021) and Elmer Tarbox (2021) as the eighth member of Texas Tech’s Ring of Honor and Hall of Fame.
The quarterback was met with a surprise video after the preseason Week 2 game against the Commanders, informing him of his induction. The video featured Hocutt, Cardinals HC (and former Texas Tech HC) Kliff Kingsbury, members of the Mahomes family and more. He took to Twitter to react to the honor after the game.
In three seasons at Texas Tech, Mahomes completed 859 passes for 11,252 yards, 93 touchdowns and 29 interceptions. He’s third in school history in yards and touchdowns, but he leads the school in yards per attempt among QBs with at least 100 completed passes (8.3). Mahomes was selected out of Texas Tech 10th overall by the Chiefs in the 2017 NFL draft — and the rest is history.
The enshrinement ceremony will take place during the team’s bye week on Friday, Oct. 28th ahead of the Red Raiders football game against Baylor on Oct. 29.
