Travis Kelce was set to achieve everything he couldn’t because of his busy schedule throughout the years. After winning the Super Bowl and getting into a relationship with a multi-talented singer Taylor Swift. The Chiefs TE had his mind set on a task that he hadn’t completed since 2013. And that task was to graduate and earn a degree from the University of Cincinnati.

But all of that changed tonight when the Kelce brothers took a trip back to the old days and filmed the “New Heights” podcast at Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena. The night was full of fun, the whole Kelce family was there, from entry to departure, marking another milestone in Kelce’s life. The Chiefs TE attended UC from 2008-2012 but didn’t graduate for more than a decade, which he changed tonight, and he did it with flair.

According to the University of Cincinnati, “Travis attended UC from 2008-2012, playing alongside Jason during their overlapping years. He was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, and he’s played there for his entire career.” After more than a decade, Jason and Travis Kelce finally got time to collect their diplomas.

Cincinnati Bearcats and Dov Kleiman took to X and shared wholesome details of the event. Kleiman’s post on X said, “Awesome: Travis Kelce finally receives his college diploma while SLAMMING down a beer 🤣.” The post shows a video of Kelce collecting the degree, but before that, he chugged a can of beer before a huge crowd and slammed it on the stage.
