Former Ole Miss football player Jonathan Hess will be looking for love off the field as he will be competing on the newest season of The Bachelorette.
Shortly after the season finale of The Bachelor on Monday night, ABC revealed that Jenn Tran will be the newest Bachelorette lead. Along with the announcement was a list of potential suitors, including the 24-year-old Hess.
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin, who coached Hess from 2020-2022, quickly went to social media to cheer on his former player and now-employee. Hess has served as a recruiting assistant since graduation.
“LFG Hess!!!!” Kiffin wrote on X with an article from Us Weekly attached.
