Michael Jerome Oher (born May 28, 1986) is an American football offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League . He was drafted by the Ravens in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft . He played college football at the University of Mississippi for the Ole Miss Rebels . His life prior to college is one of the subjects of Michael Lewis 's 2006 book, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game and the subject of the 2009 film The Blind Side . Born Michael Jerome Williams, Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee , he was one of twelve siblings born to Michael Jerome Williams and Denise Oher. His mother was addicted to crack cocaine since her pregnancy with him. As a result, he received little constructive attention during his formative years. He repeated both first grade and second grade , and attended eleven different schools during his first nine years as a student. He also alternated between time spent in various foster homes and periods of homelessness, before he was sixteen years old. Oher's estranged father, Michael Williams, a former cell mate of Denise Oher's brother, was murdered while Oher was a senior in high school. After playing football his freshman year at a public high school in Memphis, Oher applied for admission to the private Briarcrest Christian School , at the instigation of acquaintance Tony Henderson, with whom he was living with temporarily. Henderson was sending his son to the school in order to fulfill the dying wish of the boy's grandmother, and thought Oher might as well enroll. The school's football coach submitted Oher's school application to the headmaster, who agreed if Oher could complete a home study program first. Despite not finishing the program, he was admitted when the headmaster realized that his actions had the consequence of having removed him from the public education system. Oher was living with several foster families and a football teammate at Briarcrest for twenty months, before Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy , a couple with a daughter and son at Briarcrest, allowed Oher to live with them.

At Briarcrest, he was named Division II (2A) Lineman of the Year in 2003 and First Team Tennessee All-State. rated Oher a five-star recruit and the #5 offensive lineman prospect in the country. Oher eventually brought his 0.6 grade point average up to a 2.52 GPA by the end of his senior year, by becoming a 'B' grade student. This brought his GPA up to 2.05, which he then was able to raise above a 2.65, so he could attend a NCAA Division 1 school by enrolling in some 10-day-long Internet-based character courses from Brigham Young University . This was allowed to replace Ds and Fs earned in school classes such as English with As earned in Internet courses. This finally raised his graduating GPA over the required limit After receiving scholarship offers from the University of Tennessee , Louisiana State University , the University of Alabama , Auburn University , and the University of South Carolina , Oher ultimately decided to play for Coach Ed Orgeron and the University of Mississippi (UM), alma mater of Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy , with whom he was living at the time. His decision was not without controversy. The National Collegiate Athletic Association suspected that the Tuohys had taken Oher in and added him to their will in order to secure his services as a player for their favorite college, but an investigation did not affect his eligibility.
