Penn State police have announced that they closed the investigation into an incident where Jason Kelce slammed a heckler’s phone on the ground in November.
Kelce was walking toward Beaver Stadium before Penn State took on Ohio State in a blockbuster Big Ten matchup when a fan pestered him and made a homophobic remark about Kelce’s brother Travis dating Taylor Swift.
Kelce identified the fan who was being obnoxious, grabbed their phone and slammed it.
Warning: Explicit language
“Kelce how does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?”

Penn State police opened an investigation into the incident after video of it went viral.
“The individual in the video footage circulating on social media has not been identified, and no one has come forward to University Police with a related complaint about damage to personal property,” a Penn State police spokesperson told The Athletic on Tuesday.
Kelce is a lock to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his time as a center with the Eagles and is now an NFL analyst for ESPN, in addition to co-hosting the popular “New Heights” podcast with his brother.
In the incident last month, a heckler yelled at Kelce: “How does it feel that your brother is a f—–t for dating Taylor Swift?”
Kelce reacted to the fan: “Who’s the f—-t now?”
On ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” days after the incident, Kelce expressed regret over the incident, albeit stopping short of an apology to the heckler.
