Openly gay former Villanova basketball player Will Sheridan has release a new music video in anticipation of his debut album release in February. His music name is actually W!ll Sheridan; You can read more about him at his blog.

The remix of ‘Set Fire to the Streets’ by Great Tiger is pretty damn good! I can absolutely envision this being played in the clubs.

Well probably the same one Tebow has, you know. Probably ‘Like a Virgin’ and ‘Like a Prayer.’

Tebow has publicly declared his virginity until marriage. And he prays privately, publicly, before games, during games, after games….

Irvin has been effusive in his love for Tebow over the last few months, and he’s also got a fantastic sense of humor. Video of him revealing his favorite Madonna songs, and also of his Tebow-inspired Christmas present from Santa Claus (Irvin picked the Broncos to go to the Super Bowl)…

Lockett, also a part-time model who’s launching a music career, told Outsports he wanted to be part of the NOH8 campaign because he was bullied in high school.

It’s a sad thing. And it’s not just being gay. There are kids who kill themselves for being a nerd or being fat. There’s not enough support in life today. We need to start lifting people up instead of trying to bring them down.

He feels the solution to bullying is helping kids understand the beauty of differences and the power their words have. Because he was bullied he is now, at 24, able to put himself in the shoes of others and understand their pain better; That’s the key to stop the bullying, he said.

Beyond the general cause of bullying, Lockett is squarely on the side of equality for gay people.

They definitely think they should have the right to marry. They’re not affecting anybody else. I know it bothers some people to see two people of the same sex together, but you shouldn’t deny them the chance to become one and get married. There are a lot of people who will never find a mate, gay or straight. I don’t knock it.

Locket said through his modeling and music he’s gotten to know a lot of gay people. It was tough at first, particularly with some guys hitting on him. But as he got to know more gay people and understand them, he said his comfort with them came quickly.

His personal thoughts on a gay teammate reflect what we’ve heard before: If you can play, you can stay.

If he makes our team better, I couldn’t care less what he does off the field. If he’s a good player, I dno’t knock anybody’s talent. That’s like saying we’re not going to hire him because he’s gay. It’s all about winning in the corporate world or the sports world.

His perception of how that gay player would be received also reflect the “If you can play you can stay” mentality. On the one hand, he said it would be extremely difficult for someone to come out in the Patriots locker room.

Football is a very masculine sports. It’s look at as a gladiator sport. If someone said they were gay, a lot of guys wouldn’t be comfortable playing with him. You have to shower with them, you have to get dressed next to them, and a lot of guys wouldn’t be comfortable with that.

However, when asked what would happen if Tom Brady were gay and came out to the team, Lockett said that changed the conversation.

It’s tough to answer that question because he’s such a great player. He’s such a great player, it would bother people but they would accept it. If it was somebody in the background or who wasn’t a star on the team I think it would be looked at a lot differenlty. But with a star like that, it’s different.

He said he used to hear “faggot” tossed around the football field in high school, but he simply doesn’t hear the word anymore. He’s much more likely to hear players call each other “bitch” than “faggot.”

While he waits for the NFL player lockout to end, he has more time to focus on his modeling and music careers. He recently released his a music video, “Let’s Go.” It’s the first for himself and his new music company, Inception Entertainment.

Lockett is also blowing up this week because of a racy story in inTouch magazine linking him to an alleged affair with Kim Kardashian.

Check out his new music video below. You can also follow him on Twitter.
