Sean "SJ" Tuohy Jr., the younger brother of former NFL offensive lineman Michael Oher, has joined the Liberty football coaching staff.

Tuohy will serve as assistant athletic director of football operations. Head coach Hugh Freeze said his duties will include "helping out with logistics such as travel and budgets" and on-campus recruiting, per ESPN's Dave Wilson.

Tuohy was played by actor Jae Head in The Blind Side, a 2009 biopic that showcased Oher and his journey to Ole Miss. Freeze was Oher's high school coach at Briarcrest Christian School in Tennessee and has a close relationship with the Tuohy family.
