The 21st season of “The Bachelorette” is quickly approaching, much to the delight of eager fans who will be watching. Rebel fans of the show specifically can expect to see a friendly face on their screens, as former Ole Miss tight end Jonathan Hess is set to make an appearance. Hess, who is 24 years old, is currently an assistant coach for the Ole Miss Rebels and started the fire extinguisher touchdown celebration trend.
So, what exactly is this show? “The Bachelorette” is a reality television tournament where men compete to steal the heart of the bachelorette. Hess, along with 24 other contestants, will be vying to impress Jenn Tran. This is done through a series of blind dates in which the competitors get to meet and chat with the woman in question.
Lane Kiffin took time out of his press conference on Tuesday, March 26, to talk about Hess.
“I feel like it’s kind of like the basketball tournament or the playoffs in football,” Kiffin said. “I feel like if (Hess) can make it and get some momentum going and get past the beginning — to where people see a lot of him — then I think he’s got a chance because of his personality.”
Season 21 of “The Bachelorette” will air during the summer, but a release date has yet to be announced. It will be interesting to see how far Hess can make it, but he can rest assured knowing Oxford will be cheering him on.
