Baylor School has been selected as Tennessee's only Patrick Mahomes "Gladiator" high school for 2026 as part of a new multi-year partnership with adidas, beginning July 1, 2026.
 
The announcement places Baylor among just 19 high schools nationwide to be part of the Gladiator program, selected by Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and signature adidas ambassador. Under the agreement, adidas will serve as the official provider of uniforms, apparel, and accessories for all Baylor athletic programs.
 
"Teaming up with adidas creates a strategic partnership with a global brand that mirrors the excellence and drive of both our institution and its Athletic Department," said Athletic Director Mark Price.
 
"Representing the adidas brand within the Patrick Mahomes Gladiator family further distinguishes Baylor on a national stage.  They have built strong partnerships across professional, collegiate, and high school athletics, and we are proud to be included among them," added Head of School Chris Angel.
 
Baylor will continue its partnership with BSN Sports as its third-party vendor for adidas products. The school has worked with BSN for the past seven years.
 
The announcement aligns Baylor with other high-profile adidas partners, including the University of Tennessee, which begins a ten-year agreement with the brand July 1, 2026, as well as a long-term relationship with the Spain national football team, which will be headquartered on Baylor's campus this summer during the FIFA World Cup.
 
Red Raider fans will be able to purchase Baylor adidas apparel both online and in the campus Spirit Store beginning July 1, 2026, as well as select items in local Dick's Sporting Goods retail locations.
