Kellogg was a first-team All-Big Sky selection as both a junior and senior, including 1992 when Eastern shared the Big Sky title with Idaho. He finished his career from 1990-93 with a school-record of 41 passes broken up that still stands, as well as 17 interceptions, which are still the second-most in school history (entering the 2017 season). He also had 222 tackles, which at the time was fourth in school history and currently ranks 27th (entering 2017). Kellogg helped lead the Eagles to the 1992 Big Sky Conference championship and a berth in the NCAA Football Championship Division Playoffs (then known as I-AA). In his final two years, the Eagles were 14-7, as EWU finished 5-6, 5-6, 7-4 and 7-3 in his four seasons. Kellogg was also selected to the Big Sky All-Academic team in each of his four seasons as an Eagle. He was selected by the Eastern Athletic Department to the “100 for 100” All-Time Football Team, which was honored on Sept. 27, 2008, to commemorate Eastern’s 100th year of football. In 1999, Dick Zornes selected Kellogg to the "Z" Team consisting of 36 players that he felt were the best players and made the largest contributions toward the 158 games Eastern won in Zornes' 26-year association with Eagle Football. As a professional, Kellogg played in four different leagues during his nearly decade-long career, including a highly-successful eight seasons from 1995-2002 in the CFL. He played 6 1/2 years with the Calgary Stampeders and the last 1 1/2 years of his career with the Edmonton Eskimos. He helped the Stampeders win the 1998 Grey Cup and played in 14 playoff games, including four Grey Cups (1995, 1998, 1999 and 2002). In his career (including playoffs), he played in 117 games and had 301 tackles, 18 pass knock downs, eight sacks and 28 interceptions for 507 yards in returns (18.1 average) with six touchdowns. He equaled his career-high with 55 tackles in 20 games in 2002, and he was selected to the West Division All-CFL team in 1998 and 1999. In 1998, he ranked second in the CFL with eight interceptions for 72 yards and a touchdown. He also had 55 tackles in a total of 20 games as Calgary beat Hamilton 26-24 to win the CFL championship. In 1999, Calgary lost 32-21 to Hamilton in the Grey Cup as Kellogg earned CFL Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in the playoff semifinals (the third POW award in his career). In a total of 20 games, he had six interceptions for 90 yards in returns and 49 total tackles. His other career highlights include the 2000 season, when he had 31 tackles, five interceptions and two sacks. Two of the interceptions were returned for touchdowns in 2000 – including a 110-yard return – and twice he was honored as CFL Defensive Player of the Week. In 1997, he joined the team in week 17 and played in just three total games. But he was selected as the CFL defensive player of the week in week 18 when he had four tackles, three pass knock downs and a blocked punt. He joined the Stampeders late in 1995 after being released by San Francisco in the NFL in the team’s final cuts just prior to the start of the 1995 regular season. He had the same fate with the 49ers as a rookie in 1994. In 1995 and 1997, he played for the Frankfurt Galaxy of the World League. In 1997, he finished the year with 34 tackles, 10 passes defensed, two interceptions and an 18.9 kickoff return average. In 1995, he intercepted three passes in the team’s first game and finished second in the league with a total of seven. He also had 50 tackles, 14 passes defensed and two blocked kicks. In addition, after leading Calgary to the CFL playoffs in 2000, he joined Memphis of the ill-fated XFL in 2001. He had one interception for the Maniax. Jackie resides in Calgary, Alberta, with his wife, Jodi, and their two children – Trey, 19, and Jazmyn, 16.  He continues to stay involved with football coaching at Foothills Composite High.
