Too Hot To Handle's second season kicked off with a little gossip, a decent amount of drama, and some major heat in the first few episodes. The show had a lot to live up to after its first successful season on Netflix in 2020. There's a whole new set of sexy singles giving abstinence a whirl and more than willing to entertain fans. As the group gets closer to (maybe) winning their share of the $100,000 prize, one contestant is already making some serious Turks and Caicos waves.
Chase Demoor, 24, is definitely one to watch this season. He's "tall, dark, and handsome" with "a sex-drive that's, in his words, 100 out of 10," according to his cast bio. He's a football player with plenty of personality to keep him from getting the boot off the beach. Curious about who Chase Demoor is IRL? Here's everything to know about his football career, TikTok fame, and more.
He's (sort of) a professional football player.
Chase is a big athlete, literally. He is 6'5" and weighs in at 250 pounds. He mentions that he's a professional football player, which is a bit of a stretch.
Chase is a defensive end for the Linemen in The Spring League. Think of this division as the minor leagues for the NFL. It's a "professional football development league" where professional hopefuls can work their way up to eventually joining an NFL team.
Check out his highlight reel on Youtube:
Chase also plays for the Arizona Rattlers as a defensive lineman in the Indoor Football League. He previously spent time with the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League, before the team released him earlier in 2021.
It may not be the NFL, but it still takes some solid ball skills to reach this level. Chase finished off his college football career as a Wildcat at Central Washington University. He also played for College of Siskiyous before transferring. In his one season with CWU, Chase topped the NCAA in blocked kicks with six. He had four solo tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble.
He's a flag football champion.
No tackling, no problem for this defensive end. He and his teammates won the NFL flag football championship in 2021.
Chase is from Arizona.
The Scottsdale native loves giving his home state all the love on his Instagram. "Good to be home..for awhile 🌹," one of his recent captions read.
Off the field, Chase is a total TikTok star.
ICYMI, Chase is huge on TikTok. He currently has one million followers and almost 18 million likes—so, yeah, he's definitely reached influencer status. He posts a lot of football TikToks, but lately he's been hanging out with his fellow Too Hot To Handle cast members and even doing a viral dance or two!
He's dabbled in viral dances, too.
Chase is an uncle to an adorable nephew.
Sometimes, you can spot Chase hanging out with his adorable one-year-old nephew, James. "My nephew James was in good hands, he calls me uncle All state," he captioned a recent TikTok. The video shows Chase throwing and catching a football with one hand while holding toddler James in his other arm. Impressive!
And, he's all for giving back to his community.
Chase also loves sharing his passion for sports with others. "Give back & get involved with the community 🙏🏽 it’s about We. Thank you for 150k followers 🙏🏽," Chase captioned an older Instagram post. In the adorable video, he and a group of kids dance it out on the football field. Cute!
Chase could be a major player this season.
I'm not just talking about on the football field, folks. So far, Chase is getting a lot of early attention. Tbd if he makes it to the very end.
NFL star Patrick Mahomes might be his doppelganger.
If Chase looks familiar in the first episode, it may be because he has a look-alike in the NFL. Fans noticed that Chase bears a striking resemblance to current Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and shared all their thoughts on Twitter.
"Chase is giving dollar store Patrick Mahomes! #TooHotToHandle," one viewer tweeted.
"This dude chase looks like a low budget patty mahomes 🥴. Dude is even a junior league foozeball player 🏈 #TooHotToHandle #icannot," another user tweeted.
"Chase is giving me dollar tree conceited version of Patrick Mahomes & I can’t unsee it #TooHotToHandle #TooHotToHandleS2 #TooHotToHandleNetflix #THTH #TooHotTooHandle," someone else said.
Just in case you weren't convinced, here are recent photos of Chase and Patrick:
Now that someone pointed it out, I can't unsee it, either.
