Another Arizonan has found limelight on reality television — time, on Netflix.

Chase DeMoor, a 24-year-old football player from Arizona, is among the Season 2 cast of the Netflix original show “Too Hot to Handle,” which premiered June 23.

DeMoor is one of “10 new super-hot, sizzling singles” from around the world who is tempted with dating prospects on the show. The reality program bills itself as a “no dating dating show” because its cast is prohibited from engaging in intimate physical touch while the cameras are rolling.

“Too Hot to Handle,” which debuted last spring, sends a cast of 20-somethings who enjoy having casual sex to a retreat on a remote beach where they can look, but can’t touch — in the name of developing deeper emotional connection­s with potential romantic partners, of course.

Here’s what we know about Chase DeMoor, the contestant from Arizona.

Who is Chase DeMoor from ‘Too Hot to Handle?’

DeMoor is described as “tall, dark and handsome” in the cast bios for “Too Hot to Handle” Season 2.

“He has a sex-drive that’s, in his words, 100 out of 10,” his introducti­on reads.

That said, DeMoor, a defensive end with the Linemen in the Spring League — a profession­al football developmen­t league — is in for a rude awakening when he learns about the show’s rules in the first episode.

Each time cast members engage in kissing, heavy petting, sex or “self-gratificat­ion” it is not only captured on camera but causes a sum of money to be deducted from a $100,000 prize fund. For example, in Season 1, kissing cost the contestant­s $3,000 from the prize pot.

DeMoor already had a sizable online

following before his casting announceme­nt, with 1 million followers on TikTok . In his videos, he labels himself as having the “best hands on TikTok” for catching footballs in precarious circumstan­ces, including while doing gymnastics.

The Season 2 trailer hinted that DeMoor might find some opportunit­ies for self-developmen­t on the beach retreat.

“That really brought a lot of emotion that I didn’t even know I had,” he tells a fellow cast member before a giant bug lands on his face.
