WATCH: Texas Tech Kicker Displays ‘Trump 2024’ Shirt After Scoring On Trick Play

A Texas Tech kicker is going viral after he displayed a pro-Trump message after scoring a touchdown against rival TCU on Saturday.

While Texas Tech was trailing 14-3 early in the second quarter, the Red Raiders lined up for a chip shot field goal. Instead of kicking for three points, Texas Tech instead passed the ball to kicker Reese Burkhardt, who sprinted into the end-zone for a touchdown on the fake out.

While celebrating the touchdown, Burkhardt lifted up his jersey to display a white undershirt with the message, “Trump 24 MAGA.”

Burkhardt, who successfully kicked the extra point for his own touchdown just moments after the celebration, is a fifth-year Andalusia, Alabama, according to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. The score was the first touchdown of his lengthy college career.

Former President Trump has enjoyed a noticeable increase in support among the world of sports this campaign cycle. Just last week, he was joined by Steelers legends Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell for a rally in the Pittsburgh area. The two NFL greats then accompanied the former president for the team’s primetime game against the New York Jets, where Trump was greeted by multiple sections of fans chanting “USA!”

There has also been an increase in public support for the former president during sporting events.

In Saturday’s opening game of the heavyweight World Series matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, a fan sitting behind home plate was rocking a red “Make America Great Again” hat throughout the game.
