TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) _ Gary Hogeboom, a former NFL quarterback who now lives in northern Michigan, is one of 16 contestants in the ``Survivor: Guatemala'' reality series to be aired this fall on CBS.

The network announced the cast last week. The show's season premiere is Sept. 15.

Hogeboom, who turns 47 this month, started 79 NFL games with Dallas, Indianapolis and Phoenix between 1980 and 1989.
