Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes is set to be honored as an inductee into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame. The ceremony is scheduled for May 10, 2025, in Waco, Texas, which will celebrate Mahomes’ outstanding high school football career, along with other athletes.

Mahomes played football at Whitehouse High School, excelling not only in football but also in basketball and baseball. During his senior year, he threw for 4,619 yards and 50 touchdowns with 948 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns.

Mahomes has already won three Super Bowl titles, three Super Bowl MVP awards and two NFL MVP awards. He has racked up over 29,000 passing yards and 225 touchdowns so far in his career.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. begins jail sentence following DWI conviction

Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, has started his 10-day jail sentence in Texas after a February DWI conviction, as reported by TMZ.

He entered Smith County Jail on Tuesday at 4:53 p.m. and will be released on Oct. 31. Mahomes Sr. was arrested on Feb. 3, just days before his son won his third Super Bowl.

As part of a plea agreement, Mahomes Sr. pleaded guilty in August and was sentenced to five years of probation along with his short jail term. This incident was not his first DWI conviction.

He was released on a $10,000 bail.

“We’ve never had a star here in this area and now we got a chance to be a star and now we going to have a scandal now,” Mahomes Sr. said in the police footage in February. “We’re gonna have a scandal for no f–king reason because my registration when he gifted me the car hasn’t gotten in yet, which would probably be in in the next day or two.”

When Mahomes Sr. was arrested, he tried to justify his alibi by pointing out that his son would appear in a Super Bowl.

“Dude, this is crazy. My son is getting ready to play in the f–king Super Bowl and I’m doing interviews, five or six a day, and then, now, this s–t’s going to be on the news which is going to f–k with him, and it’s probably going to f–k him up," Mahomes Sr. said. "And he probably won’t win the Super Bowl. But that’s fine. If that’s what y’all want to do, that’s good.”

Mahomes Sr. still showed up at his son's third Super Bowl triumph, when the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime.
