CHUH Alum, NFL Star Travis Kelce Shouts Out Alma Mater

KANSAS CITY, MO — During Monday night's NFL game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Heights-University Heights High School alumnus Travis Kelce caught a touchdown pass and then busted out an incredible dance in the end zone. When asked where he learned how to break it down like that, Kelce shouted out his alma mater. His answer drew the attention of Cleveland's favorite son, LeBron James.

On Twitter, someone asked Kelce about the jig. He said he learned how to dance at "Cleveland Heights High School! #TheHeights."

Kelce had seven catches for 111 yards and one touchdown for the Chiefs on Monday. It was his best game of the young season and saw the Chiefs improve to a league best 4-0.

Even LeBron James took note of the tight end's impressive dance skills.

Kelce played for the Cincinnati Bearcats from 2008-2012, converting to tight end in the process. He was drafted by Kansas City in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft. He is now in his 5th season as a pro and is widely considered one of the best tight ends in the league.
