KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes isn’t the only local athlete featured in the latest Oakley commercial.

Mahomes had the opportunity to surprise some of the St. Pius X High School student athletes who co-starred in the new commercial with him.

The young athletes were aware they would appear in a commercial, which was shot last spring, but they were unaware it would feature Mahomes, according to the school.

“We had some guesses, but coach was telling us, ‘No, why would he be here?’ It was just really unexpected,” St. Pius athlete Turner White said.

The commercial featured Oakley sunglasses for the company’s Move the Game Forward campaign, and it recently released nationwide.

After keeping it a secret for months, the school said these St. Pius athletes were excited to finally share more about the experience.

The production crew spent two days filming at the stadium, on the field, and inside one of the school buses at St. Pius X High.

On the bus, the great surprise took place. After the athletes boarded and waited a short while, Mahomes made his arrival.

“Really showed me how much work goes into a commercial, like how much you don’t see and so that was really cool,” Jesse Lee, a senior at St. Pius X, told the school.

“Coach was trying to tell us all day like, ‘Mahomes is not going to be here so just get ready,’ and he walked on the bus — it was a great surprise.”

St. Pius X said the football team is already close, but filming a commercial together took it to a new level.

“We’ve been with each other like every single morning at 5 a.m., just grinding, and this really shows the work that we’ve put in and how close we’ve gotten,” St. Pius junior Noah McPhee said.

The team opened their season on Friday with a win over Pembroke Hill, and they’ll have their first home game this week vs St. Michaels.
