CINCINNATI (WXIX) – Jason and Travis Kelce have seen their spotlight grow since the two played football at the University of Cincinnati.

Both won Super Bowls and shot to stardom as Pro Bowl-level layers in the NFL. Both grew in popularity with their New Heights podcast and Swiftie fever swept the family off its feet when Travis began dating singer Taylor Swift.The brothers returned to the campus on Thursday for the first time since Jason retired from the Philadelphia Eagles last month. The two drew in Cincinnati Bengals stars Orlando Brown Jr. and Joe Burrow as guests for their podcast taping at Fifth Third Arena.

The university expected 12,500 fans for the taping of the podcast. The school let students out of class early.“Travis and I are incredibly honored,” Jason said. “It’s crazy we are being put in positions to do stuff like this.”

Jason’s trip to the UC locker room brought back memories for the Pro Bowl center.

“You spend so much time here as a student-athlete,” Jason said. “You’re so invested in the football program and the university, you’re here non-stop. It’s such a big part of anybody’s career or life. Whenever you come back it hits you with force.”
