Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has been selected for induction into the University of Cincinnati’s James P. Kelly Athletics Hall of Fame. As the final member of the 50th Anniversary Class of 2026, Kelce will be honored at a ceremony scheduled for October 23 at Fifth Third Arena.

Kelce, who played for the Bearcats from 2006 to 2010, earned two-time All-BIG EAST honors and contributed to consecutive conference championships.
