Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce
Courtesy of Dan Hoard/XTravis And Jason Kelce ceremoniously ended their live podcast recording “New Heights” at the University of Cincinnati.
The brothers were surprised with a volunteer college graduation ceremony at Fifth Third Arena on Thursday, April 11, as neither Travis, 34, nor Jason, 36, were able to walk at their respective UC graduation ceremonies. They were joined on stage by their parents, donna And Ed Kelce.
Travis wasn’t allowed to attend his college graduation ceremony in 2012 because he couldn’t return a football helmet that the school said he had lost. On Thursday, he was presented with the missing helmet so he could complete his college journey. (Both Travis and Jason played football during their time at UC.)
“Travis and Jason Kelce both earned degrees from the University of Cincinnati but were unable to attend the graduation ceremonies. UC fixes that tonight,” the sports radio host said Dan Hoard with the subtitling X Image of the couple wearing graduation caps and gowns on stage.
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have an enviable sibling relationship full of support, laughter, and of course, football. While the brothers found success in the NFL, they shared insight into their relationship off the field. Their family even served as inspiration for Travis’ “Saturday Night Live” monologue, which he hosted for the first time […]
Hoard also shared one X Video of Travis accepting his diploma “Travis Kelce style” by drinking a drink before shaking hands with a UC professor.
In other social media footage from the podcast recording, Travis was asked to share a few “words of wisdom” as the students’ volunteer valedictorian. “Before we make this official, I want to give you some advice: You have to fight for your right to party!” he shouted, quoting his favorite Beastie Boys song, “Fight For Your Right.”
