Real SJ from “The Blind Side” to play football, basketball at SMU

Moody Coliseum has been a popular destination for local celebrities and athletes.

This season, SMU will have a celebrity on its team. Sort of.

Sean “SJ” Tuohy Jr., played by Jae Head in the movie “The Blind Side,” will play his final season of college basketball at SMU. His mother, Leigh Anne, announced the move on her Instagram page.

“I’m sad you can’t see my level of enthusiasm because I’m just giddy that our little SJ is going to take his fifth year of eligibility and play not only basketball but FOOTBALL as well at SMU,” Leigh Anne Tuohy posted on Instagram.
