(PHILADELPHIA) — Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce announced his retirement on Monday after 13 seasons in the NFL.
The Super Bowl champion and seven-time Pro Bowler held a press conference at the Eagles facility to share the announcement.
In an emotional speech, Jason Kelce highlighted the many highs and lows of his time in the NFL and his college years, explaining what drew him to the game.
“I’ve been asked many times: Why did I choose football? What drew me to the game? And I never have an answer that gets it right,” he said. “The best way I could explain it is what draws you to your favorite song … your favorite book. It’s what it makes you feel. The seriousness of it. The intensity of it. Stepping on the field was the most alive and free I had ever felt.”
He also looked back on his 13-year career with the Eagles, which he recounted as “filled with ups and downs.”
“This all brings us here to today, where I announce … I am retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles,” he said.
In addition to thanking his coaches, support staff, college trainers and loved ones for their support through the years, Jason Kelce also gave a special shoutout to his wife Kylie Kelce, with whom he shares three children.
“I think it’s no coincidence, I have enjoyed my best years of my career with Kylie by my side,” he said. “Every accolade I have ever received has come with her in my life. She’s brought the best out of me through love, devotion, support, honesty, intelligence, and, of course, a swift kick in the a– from time to time.”
Jason Kelce also took time to recognize his brother Travis Kelce for his role in shaping the man and player he became.
“There is no chance I’d be here without the bond Travis and I share. It made me stronger, tougher, smarter, and it taught me the values of cooperation loyalty, patience and understanding. It’s only too poetic that I found my career being fulfilled in the City of Brotherly Love. I knew that relationship all too well,” he said.
Jason Kelce gained unique recognition as a center, particularly for the outsized role he played as an offensive lineman, a position that generally does not garner much fanfare.
He is widely considered one of the best centers of his generation, a claim legitimized by his six All-Pro team selections, a distinction awarded at the end of each season.
Last month, during an appearance on “The Big Podcast with Shaq”, Jason Kelce opened up about his possible retirement, stating that he was still “figuring it out” at the time.
His comments came a few weeks after the Eagles’ season-ending loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL playoffs on Jan. 15, after which reports surfaced that Jason Kelce had announced his retirement to his teammates shortly after the game.
Kelce later denied those reports, saying on an episode of his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with Travis Kelce, that he wasn’t in the right mindset at that time to make such a big decision.
“I didn’t announce what I was doing on purpose,” he said at the time. “I just don’t think you’re in a position after a game like that to really make that decision.”
“When it’s time to officially announce what’s happening in the future, it will be done in a way that’s definitive and pays respect to a lot of people and individuals that have meant a lot to me,” he said.
Kelce then confirmed reports that he had addressed the Eagles after their loss.
“I got belief in every single one of you guys. Cherish the moments you have in this league,” he recalled telling the team.

(IOWA CITY, Iowa) — University of Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark has reached another milestone in her college career, breaking the NCAA all-time scoring record, a record untouched for more than 50 years — until now.
Clark broke the all-time scoring record Sunday against Ohio State, hitting 18 points in the game with a technical free throw at the end of the second quarter.
The 22-year-old now holds 3,668 points and counting, surpassing “Pistol” Pete Maravich, who scored 3,667 points while playing at Louisiana State University in 1970.
Clark broke the NCAA women’s record — which was previously held by former University of Washington star Kelsey Plum, who racked up 3,527 points — in her game against Michigan on Feb. 15.
Four things to know about Caitlin Clark’s career thus far
Before breaking the NCAA all-time women’s scoring record, Clark recorded 1,000 career assists in her game against the University of Nebraska–Lincoln on Feb. 11, becoming just the sixth player in NCAA women’s basketball history to do so.
Clark has so far secured brand endorsement deals — thanks to NIL, which allows college athletes to be paid for such endorsements — with Gatorade, Nike, State Farm and Buick, totaling nearly $800,000.
She celebrated her 22nd birthday this year by gifting her teammates new sneakers.
Despite being eligible to play for the Hawkeyes for another season due to the COVID-19 waiver her first year, Clark declared for the 2024 WNBA draft, announcing the news in a social media post on Thursday. She is projected to be the No. 1 draft pick by the Indiana Fever.
Clark was named co-freshman of the year by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association in 2021, sharing the honor with UConn’s Paige Bueckers. She was also named AP player of the year in 2023 and has been awarded the Naismith Trophy, the AAU Sullivan Award and the Nancy Lieberman Award, among others, throughout her college basketball career.
A new era of women’s sports
The Iowa basketball player gained recognition last season with jaw-dropping three-pointers, many of which were shot nearly from half-court, landing Clark and the Hawkeyes in the 2023 NCAA finals.
Although Iowa lost to Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers, the game’s ending was just the beginning. Clark’s and Reese’s competitive spirits and dominance on the court re-ignited women’s basketball.
The 2023 NCAA finals was the most-viewed NCAA women’s basketball game in history, with over 9 million viewers.
Why the controversy between 2 NCAA women’s basketball stars is a double standard Since then, game tickets have soared — some reaching as high as $5,000 — and fans are frequently lined up outside college gymnasiums to see the collegiate stars play.
The newfound interest has also reached the pros: The WNBA announced record-breaking viewership and attendance following the 2022-2023 season.
A talented group
While Clark has become a high-achieving basketball star at the collegiate level, she stands alongside a talented and well-decorated group of stars.
In February, Syracuse University guard Dyaisha Fair became the fifth all-time leading scorer in women’s college basketball, surpassing former Baylor University star Brittney Griner.
On the West Coast, Juju Watkins, a freshman center at the University of Southern California, is breaking records, too.
In her freshman season, Watkins delivered 11 30-point games in a single season, a 35-year-old record set by another basketball legend and former Trojan, Cheryl Miller. Watkins also owned a 51-point career-high performance against Stanford this season.
Like Clark, an Iowa native, Watkins chose to stay in her home state and build from within.

(NEW YORK) — Just in time for the 2024 season, which kicks off March 15, the National Women’s Soccer League and Nike have teamed up to reveal new primary and secondary uniforms for all 14 of the league’s member clubs.
This marks the first time ever in the NWSL’s 11-year history that every team’s kit will get a reset.
While the vibrant designs featured on the primary kits are diverse and unique to each club’s identity, the secondary kits have been designed to play up the strength of the collective.
There are also pre-match tops that feature a shared design created by stacking traditional team crests on top of each other, to add textures and color that symbolically unite all the clubs.
Additionally, all match-day kits feature Nike’s signature Dri-FIT ADV fabric technology, which helps to provide reinforcement, mobility and breathability, according to Nike.
Nike also made a major update by removing white shorts from the entire 2024 lineup. This came as a result of NWSL players who pointed to them as a distraction on the pitch.
“This historic uniform refresh with Nike exemplifies our continued commitment to raising the bar and elevating the NWSL brand with vibrant kits that symbolize the powerful connection between the clubs, players, fans and our communities,” NWSL Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer Julie Haddon said in a statement. “We are excited to build upon this energetic moment as we approach our 2024 season kickoff.”
For all the soccer fans excited to see the new 2024 kits, they can be viewed during the NWSL Challenge Cup on March 15, as well as during the season kickoff on March 16.
