The Next ‘Bachelor’ Cast Is Here & It Includes a Contestant Who Was Engaged a Month Ago

More roses. The Bachelor 2022 contestants for Clayton Echard’s season are here, and they included an Olympian, a real estate agent who works at the same office as the Selling Sunset cast, and a woman who was engaged less than a month before filming started.

Clayton Echard, a 28-year-old from Eureka, Missouri, is the season 26 Bachelor. He was a contestant on The Bachelorette season 18 with Michelle Young and was confirmed as the next Bachelor in September 2021 after he was photographed filming promotions for the new season in his hometown in Missouri. So who is Bachelor Clayton? Well, according to his Linkedin, Clayton is an orthopaedic sales representative and works for Stryer, a medical technology company, in Columbia, Missouri. Clayton graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia, in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in health professions and related clinical sciences. He’s also set to graduate from Southeast Missouri State University in 2023 with a master’s of business administration.

While at the University of Missouri, Clayton was a devision 1 collegiate athlete. After graduation, he played as a tight end for the Seattle Seahawks, but didn’t make the final roster. “After outperforming 4 other tight ends on a tryout basis with the Seattle Seahawks, I signed on as a free agent. While there, I practiced daily with the team and played in 4 preseason games. I made it past the first round of cuts, however, I was not able to make the final roster. Nonetheless, it was a unique experience that I was blessed to be a part of,” he wrote on his Linkedin. In his Instagram bio, Clayton refers to himself as a “former freestyle rapper” and a “washed-up athlete.”

According to a September 2021 report by The Hollywood Reporter, several contestants from The Bachelorette season 17 with Katie Thurston—including Greg Grippo and Andrew Spencer—were considered to be the next Bachelor, but in the end, ABC decided on Clayton because he has a story that “resonated most with producers, who leaned toward giving the newcomer a second chance.” So who are The Bachelor 2022 contestants who will be on Clayton’s season? Read on for all The Bachelor 2022 contestants who will be on The Bachelor season 26—including an Olympian, an NFL cheerleader and a Disney World character performer.
