Who is Quinn Martin on ‘Big Brother’? This week’s HOH is an ‘Oklahomie’

Video: ‘Big Brother 26’ star Brooklyn Rivera on Tucker, Angela, more
Brooklyn Rivera was voted out of the “Big Brother 26” house last week. Here’s what she is saying now that it has been a few days since her eviction.
The longtime CBS show “Big Brother” has had a few Oklahomans grace the screen with large characters, including three-time player and Tulsa transplant Britney Haynes, Durant native and season 5 runner-up Michael “Cowboy” Ellis, and Edmond native Nathan Goodwin.
But a new Oklahoma native is making his way. The show’s most recent “Oklahomie” and current Head of Household is Quinn Martin, who has occupied much of the game in its pre-jury phase.

Who is Quinn Martin?
Quinn Martin claims Lawton as his hometown, though he has moved to Omaha, Nebraska, where he is a nurse recruiter. He is an alum of Doane University in Crete, Nebraska, where he played soccer throughout his collegiate years.
What is ‘Big Brother’?
CBS’s “Big Brother” is a reality competition show that has been on air since 2000. In the show, contestants live in a house documented 24 hours a day as they compete for $750,000.
What has Quinn Martin done in ‘Big Brother’?
When the season premiered on July 17, Quinn Martin won the “AI Chip Install” competition awarding him the “Deepfake HOH” power to become the Head of Household in disguise and make nominations in secret. He eventually would use this power during the fourth week.
He now is the Head of Household for Week 7.
Has Quinn won any competitions?
Quinn has won two competitions so far.
How has Quinn been received by viewers?
Quinn has garnered a mixed reception from viewers. Initially, he was seen as a fan favorite, but over time has lost some of his appeal due to game moves like accidentally getting his ally evicted from the game in Cedric Hodges.
How do other ‘Big Brother’ players feel about Quinn?
We have only gotten to hear thoughts from the first five houseguests to be evicted and all have expressed just as divided of opinion on Quinn. When Brooklyn Rivera was evicted on Aug. 22, she said she was the most betrayed by Quinn but still recognized how talented he is at the game.
“For him to not believe that Chelsie Baham and I weren’t loyal [to our alliance], and kind of throw us under the bus to save himself. It sucks, but that’s ‘Big Brother.’ I think he is going to win if Chelsie doesn’t,” Rivera said to host Julie Chen Moonves on Aug. 22.

Chiefs Land Potential Nick Bolton Replacement in 2025 NFL Mock Draft
![Chiefs Land Potential Nick Bolton Replacement in 2025 NFL Mock Draft Chiefs Land Potential Nick Bolton Replacement in 2025 NFL Mock Draft](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_1528,h_859,x_0,y_123/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/arrowhead_report/01j6q1nz0yf046pq0hhq.jpg)
The Kansas City Chiefs’ current dynasty is sustained largely due to star players, coaches and front office members. With that said, some smart drafting on a yearly basis keeps the back-to-back champs in good shape. Finding good talent and cost-controlled players is paramount, which is exactly what general manager Brett Veach has done in recent cycles.
Kansas City’s 2021 draft class is a perfect example of that, but many players are now due for extensions. One, center Creed Humphrey, has already received his. Linebacker Nick Bolton is up for a new contract, but the former Missouri standout doesn’t want to worry about it before or during the 2024-25 season.
If Bolton wants to bet on himself, it could see him land in the upper echelon of linebacker deals in free agency. Is that a price tag the Chiefs should or will feel comfortable meeting? That remains to be seen. There’s a world where Kansas City needs to add a new linebacker into the fold in the spring, and a recent 2025 NFL Draft mock simulation does just that.
In his mock for CBS Sports, Ryan Wilson sends Oklahoma linebacker Danny Stutsman to Kansas City.
“Stutsman is a really good athlete who plays with little wasted movement,” Wilson wrote. “He flashes a downhill burst, and is a wrap-up tackler. He’s also comfortable in space and can be disruptive in coverage. The Chiefs don’t have a ton of needs but Nick Bolton is in the final year of his contract.”
Stutsman, a senior out of Florida, was tracking to enter the 2024 NFL Draft but ended up returning to school for one last ride with the Sooners. He’s coming off a year that saw him earn All-Big 12 First Team honors, as well as third-team AP All-American marks and a semifinalist placement for the Lombardi Award. Stutsman is the heart and soul of the Oklahoma defense, and his leadership shows off the field too.
These guys are the backbone of our program, extremely blessed to be able to give back to them!!💪🙏 https://t.co/dIO0jck4j3
— Danny Stutsman (@FbStutsman) August 29, 2024
In his last two seasons, Stutsman has combined to make 25 starts and log well over 200 tackles (26.5 for loss) with six sacks and three interceptions. Similar to Bolton, he’s a stat-sheet stuffer whose impact looks impressive on the box score. Advanced stats also like his profile, as Stutsman posted Pro Football Focus grades of 70 or higher for run defense, tackling, pass rush and overall defense this past season.
Stutsman differs from Bolton in some ways, though. While he’s a willing tackler, he is inconsistent in run defense and is indecisive at times on the field. On the other hand, he’s a more fluid athlete on tape and seems to thrive when diagnosing things in coverage or using his range to make plays. A 2025 linebacker trio of Stutsman, Drue Tranquill and Leo Chenal would lose some of the tone-setting that Bolton is known for, although it’d gain the upside of being more interchangeable and also empowering the more well-rounded Tranquill to be the group’s leader.
In next year’s class, Stutsman joins players like LSU’s Harold Perkins, Clemson’s Barrett Carter and Utah’s Lander Barton as some premier linebacker talents. Is he worthy of a first-round pick? Not in this writer’s opinion, although pre-draft athletic testing could sway his stock either way. Counting on him to be a direct Bolton replacement could bring about some question marks, but Stutsman’s projected floor and ceiling at the next level are both intriguing.
