Prior to his NFL career, Kelce’s football journey made a stop in Cincinnati, where Jason and his brother Travis played for the University of Cincinnati BearcatsA former walk-on, Kelce made the switch to offensive line after taking a redshirt season in his first year in college.Once he got on the field for the Bearcats, the Cleveland Heights, Ohio native made an immediate impact on UC’s line.Kelce twice earned second-team All-Big East honors in 2009 and 2010, with the latter year including a position change from left guard to center.

 

Speaking at the press conference on Monday, Kelce reflected on his time spent with the Bearcats and how the experience molded his NFL journey.”I had no stars, no investment from the team or the coaches; I had to earn everything, which was good because I had no clue what hard work was until that point,” Kelce said.,Speaking about his coaches at UC during an emotional speech Monday, Kelce credited them with making his college football experience an enjoyable one.
