Mel Owens, a 66-year-old former linebacker for the Michigan Wolverines, is set to star in the second season of “The Golden Bachelor” competition show. Owens, who played for the Wolverines from 1977 to 1980 and was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1981, will be searching for love on national television.
A football career spanning nine seasons, Owens compiled 26.5 sacks with the Rams before transitioning into a law career, helping athletes seeking justice for sports-related injuries in Orange County, California. He has two sons from his previous marriage and is now looking for romance on “The Golden Bachelor.” The show’s second season will air on ABC and Hulu with a premiere date to be announced later.
