Michael Oher
Michael Oher's story is a well known one. After attending his high school, Briarcrest, he caught the attention of several football coaches. However, his troubled upbringing with an alcoholic mother and imprisoned father left him without a lot of support, financial or otherwise. Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, a couple with kids at the same school, housed and eventually adopted Michael into their family. His story is chronicled in the book and movie The Blind Side.
