Patrick Mahomes has been very vocal about his support for Texas Tech softball, and the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback showed up at Devon Park in Oklahoma City for Game 2 of the WCWS.

Mahomes, who is a Texas Tech alum, has been cheering on the Red Raiders and posting on social media throughout their NCAA tournament run.

He even gifted the team customized letterman jackets and shoes ahead of their game one matchup with Texas on Wednesday.

After cheering them on from afar, Mahomes is now in the stands to root on Texas Tech as they try and come from behind and take home their first WCWS title in school history.

In an interview with Holly Row on the ESPN broadcast, Mahomes talked about his investment in the team.

"First of all, I love Texas Tech and everything Texas Tech's about," Mahomes said. " To have Nija here along with all the other girls, it's been fun to watch; I've always loved softball and watching it, and I'm happy it's back in the Olympics and glad to have them here in Oklahoma City."

Mahomes also has a background in baseball and has been very impressed in Nijaree Canady

"The way she controls the softball and is able to locate it in the strike zone, its special and to be able to watch it first hand all season long," he said. "She's the reason we're in the position we are in and it starts with her and her leadership."
