The Washington Commanders quarterback brings an ACC record and a comeback story to the franchise's milestone season.
On Friday, ABC announced Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Hartman as the lead for the next season of "The Bachelor." The 27-year-old athlete will help relaunch the reality dating franchise after two years off the air.
"The Bachelor" returns for its 30th season on March 21, marking the first installment since the cancellation of "The Bachelorette" season featuring Taylor Frankie Paul. The network selected Hartman to lead the franchise's comeback.
A standout college athlete, Hartman holds the Atlantic Coast Conference record with 134 career touchdown passes. He played five seasons at Wake Forest University and one season at the University of Notre Dame before signing with the Commanders.
During his first interview on "Good Morning America," Hartman expressed excitement and nervousness about his search for love. "I have a tough time holding conversation with one girl," he admitted, adding that dating 30 women will be challenging.
The 30th season premieres Sunday, March 21, at 8 p.m. on ABC, with episodes streaming on Hulu the next day. Fans can follow the Commanders backup quarterback's journey to find a partner.
