Jason Kelce to enter University of Cincinnati Hall of Fame

Former Philadelphia Eagles center and University of Cincinnati football player Jason Kelce has been selected for induction into the James P. Kelly Athletics Hall of Fame. He is the final member of the 50th Anniversary Class of 2026.

Kelce’s collegiate career spanned from 2006 to 2010, during which he transitioned from a walk-on linebacker to a standout offensive lineman. He earned two-time All-BIG EAST honors and helped lead the Bearcats to consecutive conference championships and two BCS bowl appearances.

The induction ceremony is scheduled for October 23 at Fifth Third Arena, occurring the night before the program’s 100th Homecoming game against Texas Tech. Kelce joins other notable inductees in the 2026 class, including basketball coach Bob Huggins and former teammate Connor Barwin.
