The news is five days old and remains one of the biggest headlines in sports: Jason Kelce is retiring after 13 seasons in the NFL.
This week has been the perfect time to reflect on Kelce’s journey and everything he did to make his mark on history, becoming one of the greatest centers to ever play the game.
He has been honored in numerous ways, including billboards in the Philadelphia area, thank you videos from friends, family and teammates on the latest New Heights podcast, a Campbell’s “Legacy Edition” soup, and now, a scholarship.
Drew Brees, former Super Bowl MVP and co-owner of Walk-On Bistreaux announced a scholarship in honor of Kelce’s retirement.
Walk-On’s will award 13 scholarships to walk-in college athletes. It’s a perfectly unique nod to his years in the NFL and where he began his journey (a stint in college as a linebacker at the University of Cincinnati).
“These scholarships represent more than just financial aid,” Brees said. “They are a tribute to the relentless spirit and unwavering dedication that drives athletes to excel, reflecting the qualities Jason Kelce displayed throughout his career.
“With this initiative, your inspiring spirit will continue to guide and motivate future generations. Thank you and here’s to the spirit of the walk.”
