This is a unique piece of sports memorabilia. Unfortunately, it won’t fit on a mantle or in a man cave.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes donated his truck to the Texas Tech Matador Club, which is raffling it off to raise money for student-athletes.

The Matador Club said it “contracts for NIL rights from Texas Tech student-athletes. These student-athletes promote local charities through social media, in-person appearances, and other avenues. It’s a win-win: athletes acquire NIL deals, and local charities and non-profits benefit from the volunteer work and expanded awareness of their cause.”

The raffle will be held Jan. 6 and each ticket costs $100. You can enter here.

The Matador Club said Mahomes drove the 2019 Nissan Titan XD Rocky Ridge Edition from 2018-’22 and it has only 10,238 miles.

Here are some of the particulars, via the event organizers.

  • Engine: 5.6 Liter V8
  • Drivetrain: Four-wheel drive
  • Custom seat stitching
  • Metallic black paint custom fade
  • Mod series bumpers with grill and lighting

“We are incredibly honored to partner with Patrick Mahomes for this truck raffle. Not only does it give fans the chance to win a truly one-of-a-kind truck, but it also allows us to make a significant impact in our community,” Matador Club Board Member Cody Campbell said in a news release.

“The generosity of Patrick Mahomes and the enthusiasm of supporters will undoubtedly make a difference in the lives of those we serve.”

Unlike, say, a Chrysler LeBaron that was once driven by actor Jon Voight, you won’t need teeth marks on a pencil* to determine the original owner.

*That’s a “Seinfeld” reference
