Travis Kelce recently achieved a significant milestone in classic Travis Kelce style — by earning his college degree while chugging a beer.
The Kansas City Chiefs standout attended the University of Cincinnati for his undergraduate studies alongside his brother Jason Kelce. However, neither of them had the opportunity to participate in graduation ceremonies, as reported by the Cincinnati Enquirer — until now.
The Kelce brothers hosted their "New Heights" podcast event at Fifth Third Arena on Thursday night, according to the Enquirer, all while donning traditional cap and gowns, naturally.
CINCINNATI WE LOVE YOU!!!

In 2022, Travis Kelce fulfilled his remaining credit hours to fulfill the requirements for an interdisciplinary studies degree, as reported by the Enquirer. Meanwhile, Jason Kelce had previously earned his degree in marketing but had not attended the commencement ceremony.
During the special occasion, University of Cincinnati President Dr. Neville Pinto adorned graduation regalia to present the diplomas to the Kelce brothers. Additionally, the duo's parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, graced the stage alongside them.
"New Heights" also shared a heartwarming photo capturing Donna Kelce's joyous celebration, as she posed with balloons before the commencement of the festivities.

The Bearcats shared images from the event on Instagram, accompanied by the caption: "A surprise commencement we’ll never forget. Congratulations to Travis and Jason on (finally) picking up their diplomas!"
According to the school, Jason Kelce attended the University of Cincinnati from 2006 to 2010, while his younger brother, Travis, attended from 2008 to 2012. During their overlapping years, the pair played football together.
Travis Kelce embraced Pinto before proceeding to chug his beer, a familiar sight for the brothers. Both Travis and Jason Kelce were previously spotted downing beers at a Cleveland Cavaliers game in March.
With their diplomas in hand, Travis Kelce can now enjoy the off-season before joining his girlfriend Taylor Swift on the European leg of her "Eras Tour." Meanwhile, Jason Kelce can continue to embrace retirement after announcing his departure from the NFL last month.
