Quintavius "Q" Burdette was a prep standout at
Senatobia (Miss.) before playing college football at Ole Miss.
Now, the 29-year-old real estate agent is trying to "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast" as one of 18 contestants on the CBS reality show "Survivor."
Burdette, one of 17 children, was a two-sport athlete for the Warriors, playing football and basketball before graduating in 2012.
He ran for 1,235 yards with 16 touchdowns as a junior, averaging 123 yards per game for the 6-5 Warriors.
Known to his fellow contestants as "Q," he played football and ran track at Ole Miss before graduating and becoming a real estate agent in the Memphis area.
Burdette is part of the Yana tribe that has had a tough time winning this season, losing the first three immunity challenges. The tribe, which started with six players, was spared in this week's episode from voting off another member when a contestant from another tribe was medically pulled from the game.
We won't know if Burdette will become the winner of Survivor 46 on CBS until late May, but the real estate agent has gotten good air time, including competing in the opening strength challenge where he and a fellow contestant tried to fill a barrel with seawater with a pair of leaky buckets.
Survivor airs at 8 p.m. Wednesdays on CBS.
