Sean Albro Tuohy (born November 23, 1959)[1] is an American sports commentator and restaurateur. He played college basketball at the University of Mississippi in the 1980s.
Tuohy, his wife Leigh Anne, and his family are a subject of Michael Lewis' 2006 book, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, and its 2009 feature film adaptation, The Blind Side, where he is portrayed by Tim McGraw.[2] The book and subsequent film are based on the Tuohys' alleged “raising” of National Football League (NFL) player Michael Oher, who played in the NFL from 2009 to 2016.
