Luke Pell was on the chopping block during the latest episode of The Bachelorette after JoJo Fletcher met his family in Texas.

Just as Fletcher was about to hand out her first rose at the Rose Ceremony held in a Los Angeles airport hangar, Pell, a 31-year-old war veteran from Burnet, TX, interrupted her and asked to speak with her because they had some unfinished business.

Fletcher knew in that moment she wanted to send Pell home, but he admitted he was in love with her, which were the words she had been waiting to hear. The love confession appeared to be a game-changing moment for the Bachelorette, and she began bawling about which guy to eliminate next. The last thing she wanted to do was make a mistake.

Fletcher has gushed about her physical attraction to Pell and their chemistry, so now that she knows he loves her, will she switch things up and send either Robby Hayes, Chase McNary or Jordan Rodgers home instead?

Below is a list of 14 facts Reality TV World has compiled about Luke Pell:

- Luke studied sociology and engineering at West Point, where he graduated from in 2007.

- Luke knows how to have fun with his nephews, from adorably eating watermelon to water gun fights to hooking them up with fake tattoos.

- JoJo called him "a big, sexy hunk" of a "M-A-N" and can't help but gush about his big hands.

- Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky believes JoJo is most into Jordan Rodgers, so if she's right, Luke would be a shoo-in to be Season 21's The Bachelor star.

- If Luke could have lunch with one person, it would be Shark Tank star Mark Cuban to learn how he became so successful.

- The suitor is an entrepreneur and songwriter. He's landed singing gigs around Texas and plays the guitar.

- Luke served in the military for nine years and was a platoon leader in Afghanistan.

- The bachelor enjoys golf, singing country music for his fans, boating and tubing.

- Luke attempts to keep his deceased friend Jason Holbrook's legacy alive. Luke grew up with Jason and viewed him like a brother, but Jason sadly died in August 2010 in Afghanistan.

- The suitor is the type of guy who doesn't want to talk to anyone or do anything until he has a cup of coffee in the morning. He doesn't even want to know how much he spends at Starbucks every year.

- He's a total dog lover. Luke visits Big Fluffy Dog Rescue frequently and tries to find the dogs foster or forever homes.

- The bachelor is "addicted to forced failure" because he believes that is the only way someone can get stronger.

- Luke is one of The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison's favorite guys this season. Chris called him the "whole package" and "perfect on paper."

- In 2009, Luke was the recipient of the Toughest Air Assault Soldier Award as well as a Bronze Star.
