ELK GROVE, CALIFORNIA: Dylan Buckor, a 24-year-old contestant on 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, is a certified sociologist with aspirations of pursuing a career in medicine. During his high school years at Pleasant Grove High School on Bond Road from 2014 to 2018, he excelled in volleyball and was actively involved in the school’s Digital Media Academy program.

Known for his role as an anchor on the school’s TV broadcast, Buckor stood tall at 6 feet, 6 inches during his senior year in 2018, as reported by MaxPreps. He proudly shared his accomplishment of earning a bachelor's degree in sociology from Sacramento State University on his Instagram page in December 2023.

When he's not actively pursuing his aspirations, Buckor finds joy in listening to Drake's music and catching Sacramento Kings games. He immerses himself in the rhythms and lyrics of Drake's songs, finding solace and inspiration in the artist's words.

Attending Kings games provides Dylan with a sense of community and excitement. He enjoys cheering on his favorite team and bonding with fellow fans over their shared passion for basketball.

Discussing his romantic relationships, Buckor found himself in a unique situation in October 2023 when he participated in a dating video on YouTube. In the video, he worked alongside a professional matchmaker to sift through a pool of potential partners, ultimately selecting his final choice after a series of eliminations. This experience allowed Buckor to explore his options and potentially find a compatible match in the realm of love.
