The 18th season of ABC's hit reality dating show The Bachelorette introduced its new crop of contestants on October 19, 2021. Over the course of the next several weeks, Michelle Young will get to know 30 eligible men who hope to sweep her off her feet and steal her heart.
While the personalities of the various Bachelors have yet to be discovered, one way to find out more about them is to check out what they are up to on social media and Instagram, in particular. Here's hoping Michelle Young finds her true romantic match this season.
Alec Thompson
Contestant Alec Thompson was quick to add his first Bachelorette experience on Instagram for his most recent post, which also includes a healthy dose of athletic photos from his time as a onetime football player. Follow Alec @alec_barret-thompson.
Brandon Jones
When he isn't posting images of his dog, family, or celebration of Juneteenth, Brandon Jones can be found outdoors in the Pacific Northwest swimming in lakes, posing on bridges, snowboarding, speedboating with friends, etc. For proof, check out @bmacjones.
Brandon Kieffer
Austin, Texas native Brandon Kieffer looks to woo Michelle Young with his down-home southern charm and easygoing demeanor that is reflected in his Instagram account @brandon.kiefer.
When he isn't attending UT football games, Brandon enjoys traveling to the prettiest corners of the world. Hopefully, he can woo Michelle with his globetrotting ways.
Bryan Witzmann
Former NFL offensive lineman Bryan Witzmann has rugged good looks to go with his self-proclaimed status as a "political junkie, world traveler, and amateur chef," making for a well-rounded suitor for Michelle to get to know. He can be followed @witz76.
Casey Woods
Found @caseydillamusic, Miami musician and creative director Casey Woods is a father of three boys who appears to enjoy the quiet family life in between his trips around the world.
On Instagram, Casey has exotic travel photos of Bali, Iceland, Qatar, Patagonia, and more. With a built-in fanbase, he and Michelle might become the most popular Bachelorette Instagram couple of all.

Spending his time between Los Angeles and New Orleans, LSU grad Chris Sutton isn't all that active on Instagram. With 23 total posts, most of his pictures entail family, football, and a few professional-looking modeling poses. Follow Chris @chris_sutton1.
Clayton Echard
With refreshing candor, Clayton Echard calls himself a "former freestyle rapper and washed up athlete now trying his luck in orthopedic sales" on his Instagram.

Garrett Aida
Dark Energy electronics CEO and outdoorsy Utah native, Garrett Aida, made quite an intro with his elegant scepter on The Bachelorette. The adventurous thrill-seeker will no doubt give the other contestants a run for their money. Follow him @garrettaida.
Jack Russell
Wharton Business School grad and Army veteran Jack Rusell has a total of six Instagram posts @jackrussellnottheterrier, the best being a punny photo posing alongside two Jack Russell terriers. It's that kind of cheeky sense of humor that could help make Season 18 one of the best Bachelorette seasons yet.
