The Texas Tech student who nailed a full-court putt in front of Patrick Mahomes is getting something much sweeter than a pair of headphones — free school!!
The awesome gesture was revealed on Thursday … when the three-time Super Bowl champion surprised senior Blake Porter during his appearance on the “Today” show.

NBC
Mahomes said Porter’s putt is gonna go a lot farther than 94 feet … ’cause he said Texas Tech Athletics would be footing the bill when his fall courses come around next semester.
Not only will he get free classes, the 29-year-old quarterback said he was going to make Porter an honorary member of his Team Mahomes NIL initiative with Adidas.

Porter — who initially got some AirPods and an iPad for his putt — couldn’t contain his excitement … giving his mom a big hug on the show.
As we previously reported, Porter was part of an in-game competition during TTU’s home loss to Houston … and after completing the wild accomplishment, he ran up to Mahomes for a shoulder bump.
The NFL superstar said he was happy to be a part of his huge highlight … and will be hooking him up with some golf gear to keep working on his craft.
Awesome.
