Former Husker Competing in New Dating Show

Based in Houston, Kalu is joined by his Nigerian aunt Oma. He is the youngest of three men at 28-years-old, with the other two listed at 30. Each bachelor has four women competing to go on a date with them.

Kalu is the first bachelor to be introduced on the show, stating that he is looking for "someone who loves him for who he is".

"I had offers from Harvard, Yale, Washington State," Kalu said. "I chose Nebraska because I wanted to play football for a living."

Kalu signed with the Tennessee as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He would stay with the Titans through 2020 and go on to have contracts with the New York Giants, Washington Commanders, and Miami Dolphins.

A defensive back at Nebraska from 2014-17, Kalu appeared in 46 games during his time in Lincoln. Between his recruitment and time as a Husker, he had six separate position coaches due to repeated staff turnover.

But Kalu wants to be known for more than just being an athlete, which is why he doesn't disclose his athletic past to the women. Instead, he introduces himself as an entrepreneur who “dabbled with some modeling” and who participated in Fashion Week in both New York and Paris.

"#Somebody's Son" airs Saturdays at 8 p.m. CDT.
