Luke Pell is competing for JoJo Fletcher's heart on the currently-airing twelfth edition of The Bachelorette.

Luke, a 31-year-old war veteran from Burnet, TX, memorably pulled up to the Bachelor mansion in Los Angeles on a unicorn, paying reference to JoJo's own entrance on Ben Higgins' season of The Bachelor. Also on Night 1 of filming The Bachelorette, Luke gave JoJo a pair of cowboy boots, which she loved.

On the season's firefighter-training Group Date, Luke came in second place behind real-life firefighter Grant Kemp. Luke's physical ability and determination really impressed JoJo.

The small-town country boy is quite the charmer, and JoJo apparently agrees. They also have Texas roots in common since JoJo is from Dallas.

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

- JoJo called Luke "a big, sexy hunk of a man" and can't help but gush about his big hands.

- The suitor is an entrepreneur, songwriter and West Point Alum (Graduated in 2007).

- 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 and playing the guitar.

- 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.

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

- 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.

- 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," so Luke will definitely be a bachelor to keep your eye on.
