An interesting detail regarding the young man who was involved in an altercation with former Eagles star Jason Kelce has surfaced following Saturday’s shocking incident.
Kelce was recorded smashing a male believed to be a Penn State student after he referenced Travis Kelce with a homophobic slur.
The former offensive lineman has addressed the incident, speaking about it during ‘Monday Night Countdown’ this week. He claimed to be disappointed with the way he reacted, vowing to be better.
There has been chatter over potential consequences where Kelce is concerned, but TMZ has revealed that Penn State police still haven’t identified the fan, given that no one has come forward to report their phone being destroyed.
Ok I hadn’t seen this video. This kid really survived death. If Jason Kelce wasn’t Jason Kelce, I’m pretty sure this kid would be in the hospital. Who raises these young men.

“A spokesperson for the university police department tells TMZ Sports that they do not know the identity of the guy, adding no one has come forward to make a complaint over their personal property (smashed phone) being damaged,” the publication reports.
“FYI, an officer who observed some of the incident did file a report.”
Jason Kelce’s Phone Smashing Victim Isn’t On The Penn State Hockey Team
There was some speculation suggesting that the mystery fan was on the Penn State hockey team because he was wearing a team sweatshirt. But the school’s athletic department has said he has no affiliation with the program—furthermore, the team wasn’t even around last weekend.
“The team was actually on the road playing games in Minnesota on Friday and Saturday,” associate director of strategic communications, John Hannah, said in an email.
Time will tell whether the young man chooses to report his phone getting smashed. Then again, he might be willing to cut his losses.
He could probably still sell the device. “Smashed by future Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Kelce” is a hell of a description.
Travis Kelce Finally Breaks His Silence On Brother Jason Kelce’s Cell Phone Smashing Incident With Heckling Penn State Fan

Jason Kelce was in Happy Valley for Saturday’s highly-anticipated showdown between two marquee football programs, the Penn State Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes. While the former Philadelphia Eagles center was walking about, a heckling fan came up to Kelce and called his younger brother a homophobic slur.
Bystanders caught the incident between Kelce and the hecker on video. The fan goes up to the Eagles legend and calls Travis a “f****t” for dating Taylor Swift, prompting a provoked Jason to smash the fan’s phone before asking, “Who’s the f****t” now?”
A video of the incident is available below, but be warned that it contains language that is offensive and NSFW:
During the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast that Travis and Jason Kelce co-host, the Chiefs superstar tight end addressed the incident. Travis called the heckler a “clown” and came to the defense of his brother:

“I know it’s weighing on you, brother. That s–t sucks. You shouldn’t feel this much, obviously the scrutiny and the media view on it and everybody passing around the videos that are out there. That’s gonna make it a bigger situation than what it really is…
The real situation is you had some f–king clown come up to you and talk about your family and you reacted in a way that was defending your family. And you might have used some words that you regret using.”
Jason addressed the incident during ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” program before the Chiefs-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. Jason expressed regret over the incident, noting he’ll continue to try and treat others “with decency.”
Penn State police are investigating the incident between Kelce and the heckling fan, who has not been publicly identified.
Jason Kelce Will Learn From The Incident
Regardless of which side you’re on, that heckling fan had no reason to provoke Kelce and call his brother a homophobic slur. Jason was minding his own business and simply trying to enjoy a nice day out in Happy Valley.
But Kelce should be applauded for owning up to his actions, and everyone can take away something from his on-air apology on Monday. Emotions get the best of all of us sometimes, but it’s always better to never sink to the level of others who go low like this Penn State fan.
