Brittany Mahomes has long been a familiar face on NFL sidelines, but her latest honor brings the focus back to where her story in sports truly began. Before becoming widely known as the wife of Patrick Mahomes, she carved out a serious reputation of her own on the soccer field.
That chapter came full circle this weekend when Brittany Mahomes was inducted into the University of Texas at Tyler Athletics Hall of Fame, a moment that resonated far beyond her college campus.
Brittany Mahomes’ Hall of Fame moment reflects her record-setting UT Tyler career
From 2013 to 2016, Brittany Mahomes was a constant attacking threat for UT Tyler, building one of the most productive careers the program has seen. She finished second in school history with 31 goals and 78 total points, numbers that only tell part of the story.
In a single season, she rewrote the scoring record book and became the first player in program history to record three hat-tricks in one campaign. Those performances turned her into a cornerstone of the Patriots’ attack and a name that still carries weight within the program.

On Saturday, that recognition became official as her name was permanently etched into the school’s history.Mahomes shared the moment with her followers on Instagram, offering a glimpse into what the honor meant on a personal level. “Truly honored to be inducted into the UT Tyler Athletics Hall of Fame! This City and this School is a huge part of who I am today, I will forever cherish this honor and am forever grateful for what this program did for me as an athlete and as a person! Coach Webb, you brought out the best in me, this doesn’t happen without you!”The response was immediate and warm. Among those celebrating was Erin Andrews, who kept it simple with, “Congrats girl!!!!!” The message reflected a friendship that has grown over the years, especially through Andrews’ WEAR apparel line, where Mahomes has often appeared as a visible supporter.That connection speaks to how Mahomes has balanced different roles over time. While many know her through her NFL ties, her athletic roots remain a defining part of her identity. This Hall of Fame nod does not just honor past performances. It reminds people that long before the spotlight of professional football, she had already built something meaningful on her own terms.
