Kelce, who’s now with ESPN following his retirement from professional football earlier this year, was at Beaver Stadium for the Nittany Lions’ clash with the Ohio State Buckeyes, making an appearance on ‘College GameDay.’
The former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman found himself hounded by students, with one using a homophobic slur to describe his brother, Travis Kelce.
Jason responded by snatching the fan’s phone and then smashing it, as you can see in the video below:

While reports from Sunday noted that the incident wasn’t being looked into as no report was made, the school has reached out to TPS to confirm otherwise.
“University Police and Public Safety (UPPS) did not release a formal statement on the incident in question,” they wrote in an email. “University Police and Public Safety is the investigating agency for this incident and that process is ongoing.”
Travis Kelce Shocked By Jason Kelce Incident
This might not be behind Jason Kelce just yet, but should he be taken to task, he isn’t expected to be required to fork over anything more than what it would cost the student to get a new phone.
Meanwhile, it’s been reported that Travis Kelce was shocked by the altercation as he feels like his brother is one of the nicest guys around and doesn’t understand why someone would want to heckle him in such a manner.
Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Jason will preview the game on ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Countdown.’
