Ole Miss football and Lane Kiffin appear to have a connection to the upcoming season of “The Bachelorette” reality TV show.
The Rebels coach posted an article on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday with the list of potential contestants for the show that was teased by ABC on Monday night. It includes two of his former players in Jonathan Hess at Ole Miss and John Mitchell at Florida Atlantic.
Hess, 24, played tight end at Ole Miss from 2018-22. He is now on the coaching staff as a recruiting assistant.
Hess is also known for starting the tradition of firing off a fire extinguisher when the Rebels score a touchdown.
Mitchell, 25, played under Kiffin at FAU as a wide receiver.
They will compete with the other men to try to win the heart of Jenn Tran, who was chosen as the bachelorette.
The season’s premiere date has not been announced.
