In addition to Darryl Stephens on this year's Out 100, there is another Rod 2.0 making the now-iconic list: Basketball player DeMarco Majors.
DeMarco was introduced on these pages in May 2006 when he was featured in Clik. (We wrote the Wilson Cruz profile in the same issue.) You'll recall the Bay Area hottie played professional basketball in Australia and stateside with the ABA. DeMarco is named to "The Winning Team", four men who "may be better known now that they're off the field—and out—but they're definitely all still in the game." The list also includes former NBA player John Amaechi, Outsports editor Cyd Ziegler and Rutgers University swim phenom Sean Smith.
It's also quite obvious that DeMarco has been eating his spinach and offers quite the sung fit on those boxer briefs in the photo by famed beefcake photographer Francois Rousseau. Oakland-based club promoter and Joe Hawkins first interviewed the athlete slash model for Keeping it Real, his internet television show in 2006, and, says DeMarco is growing in all the right places. "Since then, Demarco and I have become close friends and confidants," Joe Hawkins writes at his cleverly-named new blog, Cuppa Joe. "Go into most Wal-Mart stores across America today and you will see his posters in the fitness section. He's been a NY Fashion Week runway darling over the past two years, has worked with Jill Scott and was in Beyoncé's music video 'Freakum Dress' playing one of the straight boys checking Beyonce out."
How much do you want to betBeyoncé and the straight boys were checking out DeMarco, too?

He's in New York? Everybody sexy is in damn New York.

LOL. Yes, the sexy ones all just roll down into New York as surely as water flows to the sea. All that's left in Philly are pot-bellied slobs too heavy to roll.
Derrick, you are too funny.

Demarco lives in Oakland. That has been said many times and it's mentioned in both articles.

Why, thanks, Gregg. I didn't notice there was an article to go along with the picture. I'll have to read it after I finish enjoying the picture.
Oakland? Well, why are all the beautiful men in damn Oakland?

I had to post again. I sure like lookin' at that man. He ought to move to New York...only 90 miles away. I don't want him here in Philly--they have me in jail for stalking.
Child, he's almost as fine as Reggie Bush or Tim Liggins...aint nobody as fine as those brothers. But they probably don't like fems...oh, woe is me; yes,woe is me, Miss Thaing.

phew he is so hot. I generally like smooth guys but he has just the right amount of body hair, esp on the legs; lawd hammercy.

I'm glad to see DeMarco continuing to do well, he deserves it. I wrote up my interview with him for Clik Magazine last year and found him to be as sensitive, intelligent and charming as he is beautiful. The man is truly the total package...no pun intended. :O) Keep it up, DeMarco!

Does anyone have an email address for DeMarco Majors. I'm an old friend of his from Evansville, and he just crossed my mind today. He knew me as Nikki Carter.
