The identity of the man that clashed with Jason Kelce on Penn State’s campus last weekend remains a mystery.
The university police department is still trying to figure out who got into an altercation with the former Eagles center before the Nittany Lions’ game against Ohio State, according to TMZ Sports.
In a viral video, Kelce was captured smashing a Penn State fan’s phone onto the ground after a homophobic slur was used in his direction while outside Beaver Stadium on Saturday.

A university spokesperson told the outlet that no one has come forward to report their personal property being damaged on Saturday.
Earlier this week, Penn State Police told The Post that they were investigating the incident and the “process is ongoing.”

On ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown,” Kelce expressed regret for the incident but stopped short of a full-blown apology.
“I think everybody’s seen on social media the thing that took place this week. Listen, I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it. In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that 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, and in that moment I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have,” Kelce said.

Kelce doubled down later in the week on his “New Heights” podcast with his brother, Travis Kelce.
“I’m not happy about the situation,” Kelce said. “Me reacting gave him the time of day and it also gave the situation notoriety. That’s what I regret. Alright. It didn’t deserve attention. It’s really stupid and if I just keep walking it’s a f–king nothing-burger. Nobody sees it.
“Now it’s out there and it just perpetuates more hate. The thing that I regret the most is saying that word to be honest with you. That word he used, its just f–king ridiculous, it takes it to another level. It’s just off the wall, f–king over the line. As a human it got under my skin. And it elicited a reaction and in the heat of the moment.”
