Three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes has partnered with Adidas to provide six Texas Tech students with life-changing NIL deals.
This move follows on the heels the sportswear industry giant announcing a 10-year partnership with Texas Tech University.
Adidas shared the names and sports of the six student-athletes who are being sponsored through this initiative: Micah Hudson (football), NiJaree Canady (softball), Jasmine Shavers (basketball), Matthew Comegys (golf), Sam Courtwright (soccer), and TJ Pompey (baseball).
In addition to the NIL deals, Adidas announced that Mahomes has made a donation that will assist in completing "their largest facility investment in school history – the $240 million South End Zone and Dustin R. Womble Football Center project that opens this season."
Mahomes arrived personally on campus to share new uniforms that will be worn by the Aggies during the 2024 college football season. He also shared a fantastic picture with the six student-athletes who received NIL deals:

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback also shared his thoughts on supplying NIL deals to student-athletes of his alma-mater.
“The energy around this partnership has been incredible, and this announcement shows just how important this is to me, adidas and Texas Tech,” said Mahomes. “adidas has been a collaborative partner from the start, and we worked together to select athletes who are among the best and embody the drive and dedication we’re looking for in a Team Mahomes athlete. We’ve got a lot of great stuff coming up for the Red Raiders – stay tuned for more.”
This is just the latest big move for Mahomes, who is quickly becoming a dynamo in the business world.
