Ahead of the Women’s College World Series between Texas Tech and Texas, players were asked which celebrity they would want at the championship.
Sophomore infielder Lauren Allred named Tech’s biggest cheerleader.
“I would love to see Patrick Mahomes out here. Yeah, that’d be interesting. It’s great to see the support. We know he’s invested and to be able to have that support is amazing.”
Junior Alana Johnson agreed, saying: “I want him to pull up to a softball game one day.”
That day was Thursday.

“It means everything,” she said. “Wreck Em forever! It’s incredible that he’s here.”
