It has certainly been a wild ride for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce over the past several months as he began dating pop sensation Taylor Swift and helping lead his team to a second consecutive Super Bowl title. But this weekend, he reached yet another important accomplishment as he officially graduated from college. And he celebrated in a very unique way.
Though Travis Kelce left the University of Cincinnati following the 2012 season to declare for the NFL Draft, he just completed his degree and was honored with a special surprise graduation ceremony alongside his brother Jason Kelce.
“A surprise commencement we’ll never forget. Congratulations to Travis and Jason on (finally) picking up those diplomas!” the University of Cincinnati’s official athletics account said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

After Kelce received his diploma, he celebrated in a pretty unique and hilarious way, chugging a beer and spiking the empty can on the ground like a football.
Receiving a diploma…Travis Kelce style

Compare this spectacle to the time Taylor received an honorary doctorate degree and gave an inspiring speech to NYU grads. Why are they dating, again? https://t.co/GquWQhFYO8

The uncomfortable smiles from the academic poo-bahs on the stage are hilarious. https://t.co/IzH6lMoMYv

I am going to wade into what I know will be dicey waters and say… the Kelce boys drink way too much https://t.co/ridT1Jg68j

It’s worth noting that this wasn’t a real graduation ceremony – it was a special event for just the Kelce brothers.
