Penn State Police want to remain in the headlines, will now investigate Jason Kelce for smashing student’s phone outside of Beaver Stadium
The incident between Jason Kelce and a heckling fan at Penn State has everyone talking. Penn State Police and Public Safety have now opened an investigation into still what went down, but here’s what we know so far.
Kelce, in town for ESPN’s “College Gameday,” was caught on video smashing a fan’s phone after the individual hurled a homophobic slur, mocking Kelce’s brother, Travis, and his relationship with Taylor Swift.
The situation escalated quickly when Kelce confronted the heckler, grabbed the phone, and smashed it to the ground. The fan, wearing a Penn State sweatshirt, demanded his phone back, leading to a heated exchange before Kelce walked away.
The university police’s crime log noted potential charges of criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. While it’s unclear if anyone formally reported the altercation, the video spread fast on social media, sparking plenty of reactions.
Every angle of the Jason Kelce phone smash in Happy Valley:
Kelce owned up to the situation on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown,” even though he really didn’t have to. He showed more grace and humility than anyone should expect after being publicly harassed.

Despite the backlash, Kelce has received support, including from Penn State football coach James Franklin.
Meanwhile, Penn State football coach James Franklin hit the nail on the head: there was a consequence for bad behavior, and it wasn’t Kelce’s fault.
The whole situation with Jason Kelce at Penn State is turning into a spectacle, but let’s cut through the noise—Kelce didn’t do anything wrong here. Penn State Police are investigating the incident, but why? This feels like a textbook case of over-policing a non-issue.
The fact that Penn State Police are even considering criminal mischief and disorderly conduct charges is ridiculous. What about holding the fan accountable for his disgusting behavior?
Instead, Kelce is being scrutinized for defending himself in a situation where most people would’ve done a lot worse.
And let’s not forget, this is the same university that failed to act swiftly in far more serious matters in the past. Maybe if Penn State Police had been this vigilant in 2011, we wouldn’t be talking about their misplaced priorities now.
So, Penn State Police, maybe it’s time to focus on real issues instead of dragging out an investigation that should’ve been a non-starter. Let’s stop pretending Kelce is the villain here when he’s clearly not.
