A University of Texas at San Antonio student posted a viral video of him gaining access to the Texas A&M locker room on someone else’s VIP pass.

Alex Sunderland, 22, found the pass on the ground and flashed it at security, who waived him through the gate with no questions asked.

Sunderland posed as a recruit who spoke little English, telling security that he was a kicker from Mexico and didn’t speak English very well. After watching the Texas A&M Aggies upset the No. 1 team in the nation, Sunderland found himself in the locker room with the team, where he took selfies with Jimbo Fisher and A&M kicker Seth Small.

Sunderland posted a video documenting the ordeal on TikTok. You can watch it here.
