Penn State has reportedly closed its investigation into the incident involving Jason Kelce early last month.
The former NFL star was at the center of controversy after he grabbed a phone from a Nittany Lions fan, believed to be a student, and smashed it ahead of a game at Beaver Stadium on November 2.
The fan, who had been heckling Kelce, crossed the line with the ex-offensive lineman when he used a homophobic slur in reference to Travis Kelce, Jason’s younger brother.
TMZ has reported that the ESPN analyst won’t be facing any charges, citing a spokesperson who told them the case is being closed as the fan in question did not come forward, nor was he identified.
“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,” they told the outlet.
Jason Kelce Expressed Regret Over His Actions
The fan appeared to be incensed after Kelce smashed his phone; that he didn’t make a report comes as a surprise. Of course, it’s possible that they handled the matter privately.
Jason addressed the incident on ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Countdown’ after videos went viral, claiming he wasn’t proud of what he’d done and would be better.
“I’m not happy with anything that took place,” he said. “I’m not proud of it. And in a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing. I really don’t. I don’t think it leads to discourse and it’s the right way to go about things. In that moment, I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have.
ESPN has also decided not to punish the former center following the incident.

The Colorado star is in a serious relationship with Leanna Lenee, who went viral after she appeared to be pissed at him after his Senior Day win over Oklahoma State. They recently went on stream together, and Travis would reveal shooting his shot via Instagram.
Leanna revealed that the player didn’t tickle her fancy as he wasn’t her type, so she left him with the crickets. Of course, he got through eventually.
She also admitted that she has the proclivity to blow up when things don’t go her way.
