While much of Bachelor Nation has fallen in love with him already via his friendship with former Bachelorette Hannah Brown and her popular suitor Tyler C., many will meet the 28-year-old real estate broker, entrepreneur and community organization founder on his journey to find love for the first time. The North Carolina native went to Wake Forest University, where he majored in economics and played wide receiver for the football team. He went on to play professional football, before moving to New York City, where he now resides. His love of food and passion for giving back led to his creation of an organization that is designed to find creative ways to engage kids from underserved communities in New York City, encouraging physical and mental wellness, while also giving them opportunities for new experiences throughout the city.
Season 25 of "The Bachelor" is scheduled to premiere in 2021.
