Washington Commanders practice-squad quarterback Sam Hartman, 27, has been named the lead of ABC’s 30th season of “The Bachelor.” Announced during an appearance on “Good Morning America,” Hartman said he was excited but nervous about dating 30 women, joking that he struggles to hold a conversation with one. The former Wake Forest and Notre Dame player joined Washington as an undrafted free agent in 2024 and holds the ACC career record for touchdown passes. The season is scheduled to premiere March 21, 2027, on ABC, with episodes streaming on Hulu the following day.

The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.
