Former Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman will be the leading man of the 30th season of "The Bachelor" on ABC this spring. 

The 27-year-old quarterback for the Washington Commanders was a standout alum for both Wake Forest and Notre Dame, where he set legendary ACC records, including most career touchdown passes and 300-yard passing games. 

IN 2022, while playing at Wake Forest, Hartman was diagnosed with Paget-Schroetter syndrome, a rare condition that causes blood clots in a vein near the collarbone. 

He returned to the field that season and received the ACC's Brian Piccolo Award, which recognizes the conference's "most courageous" football player.

While playing for the Fighting Irish in 2023, Hartman had 2,689 passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns. Notre Dame selected Hartman as the team's most valuable player after helping the Irish end their regular season with a 9-3 record. 

Hartman opted out in playing in the Sun Bowl in order to prepare for the 2024 NFL draft.

After Hartman went undrafted, he signed with the Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent and has played with the team since. 

Season 30 of "The Bachelor" premieres Sunday, March 21, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu
