WATCH: Patrick Mahomes Goes Viral for Epic Celebration as He Returns to Texas Tech for Red Raiders Showdown
Lubbock, TX – Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes made a surprise return to his alma mater, Texas Tech, on Monday night, and the internet can’t stop talking about his wild celebration during the Red Raiders’ clash against the Houston Cougars.
Mahomes, who is beloved in Lubbock for his record-breaking college career, received a hero’s welcome as he entered Jones AT&T Stadium. The crowd erupted into deafening cheers, with fans waving Mahomes jerseys, homemade signs, and even a life-sized cardboard cutout of the quarterback.
But it was his on-camera celebration that stole the show. After a Red Raiders touchdown, Mahomes jumped onto a railing near the sideline, pumped his fists, and led the student section in an impromptu “Guns Up” chant. The moment was caught on the stadium’s jumbotron, and within minutes, it spread like wildfire across social media.
“I’ve never seen Pat this hyped,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Dude looked like he was ready to suit up and throw for 500 yards.”
The viral clip even caught the attention of his Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce, who jokingly commented, “Save some energy for Sunday, big dawg.”
Mahomes later posted on Instagram, sharing a picture of himself high-fiving the Texas Tech mascot with the caption, “Feels good to be home. Wreck ‘Em forever.”
While the Red Raiders ultimately secured a thrilling 38-35 victory, many fans left talking less about the game itself and more about their former QB’s unforgettable return. Some students even petitioned for a Mahomes statue outside the stadium, arguing that his energy alone was worth at least a couple of extra touchdowns.
As Mahomes returns to Kansas City to prepare for another NFL showdown, one thing is clear—his heart will always be in Lubbock.
