Travis and Jason Kelce got into the student spirit at their alma mater on Thursday night by pounding beers with adoring students – and Mail Sport was there to witness everything that unfolded.
After their New Heights live podcast at the University of Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena, the guys went to a local bar, where Jason drank with fans on the bar’s patio.
Travis, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, and Jason, the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center, were both featured in an exclusive video interacting with fans at Uncle Woody’s in Over-the-Rhine, a neighborhood adjacent to the UC campus.
Adorned from head to toe in Bearcats gear, the brothers had their pictures taken with fans after their live show, where Taylor Swift’s friend also received his diploma from the school, 12 years after leaving for the NFL.
A crowd of brothers from Jason’s old fraternity, Sigma Sigma, could be heard shouting “torch and hammer,” which is a reference to the group’s motto. Jason responded by raising a glass of beer to the spectators and shaking some hands through the fence on Uncle Woody’s balcony, where the retired lineman was socializing.
Meanwhile, Jason’s wife Kylie managed to get into Jimmy John’s minutes after the fast food chain closed that evening.

“Maybe he’ll open the door for you; it’s only been ten minutes,” an onlooker told Kylie after discovering Jimmy John’s had closed.
“He just wants a roast beef sandwich,” Kylie is heard saying, presumably referring to her husband.
One caring onlooker showed some sympathy (“I’ve got a pizza for Jason if he needs it”) before the manager was called to the door, where he happily let Kylie in and placed an order.
Kylie reappeared with what looked like a sandwich wrapped in paper and a cookie or something similar.
And despite her hungry husband looming off camera, Kylie still took time to take photos with fans, who all seemed to be politely waiting for a brief interaction with the famous NFL wife.

Earlier in the evening, Kylie received a round of applause from the crowd at the Fifth Third Arena, although she buried her face in her hands to hide her embarrassment.
With Travis and Jason Kelce’s rise to fame, Kylie has joined in the rising attention as she is married and has three daughters with Jason.
“PRINCESS KYANA IN THE BUILDING,” the official New Heights account posted on the video.
‘Princess Kyana’ is the nickname Travis gave to Kylie, named after the late Princess Diana.
Jason graduated from UC in 2010 while Satterfield was an assistant at Florida International

Before their “New Heights Live” special Thursday night, Travis and Jason Kelce stopped by to speak with the current Cincinnati Bearcats football team.
At least one of the Kelce brothers played for Cincinnati from 2006 to 2012, and given the brother’s current celebrity status, they are probably the program’s two most famous alumni.
Cincinnati head football coach Scott Satterfield, who took the job in 2022 after stints as head coach at Louisville and Appalachian State, posted photos with each of the Kelce brothers on social media.
“I’m very grateful to @JasonKelce and @tkelce for speaking to our team. I’m glad to have them back in Clifton!’ Satterfield said on X, referring to the Cincinnati neighborhood where the university’s campus is located.
In the photos, Travis is wearing a green Nike sweatshirt, while Jason is wearing a Bearcats football jersey.
