Travis and Jason are set to broadcast New Heights directly from the college campus on April 11.

And before going live, they will pit two teams of students up against each other in the inaugural Lombaby Games.

The winners will be hoping to lift the Lombaby Trophy, a play on the Super Bowl's iconic Vince Lombardi Trophy.

"It's gonna be a fun time at historic Nippert Stadium," Travis explained in a recent episode of the hit podcast.

"Before the show, we're going to be hosting a special event," added Jason.

"The great Lombaby games. We're going to have a little competition."

Jason claimed he couldn't wait to soak up the "college atmosphere" during the live recording.

The former Philadelphia Eagles center added that the event had been inspired by the 1984 comedy film Revenge of the Nerds.

"We're going to have two teams of UC students," he continued.

"The athletic team, which is going to be comprised of student-athletes, facing off against the academic team. I think we call them the nerds.

"They will then compete in a series of challenges."

Jason and Travis refused to unveil exactly what challenges awaited the two teams.

But they teased that it would be "ridiculous", with Jason hinting, "There might be a cannon."

The Kelce brother's popularity has soared in recent months following another high-profile NFL season.

Travis is currently dating pop sensation Taylor Swift and recently jetted out to Singapore to watch the singer perform on her sold-out Eras Tour.

Earlier this month, Jason bid farewell to football after 13 NFL seasons in an emotional press conference.

The Super Bowl LII champion broke down in tears as he took the podium to announce his retirement with a 40-minute speech.
