Michael is a seventeen year old, with a drug addicted mom and no known father, therefore he was in foster care, however he kept running away with nowhere to call home. Leigh Anne finds Michael and realizes he has no place to call home, she takes him in to become a part of her family which consists of Leigh Ann and Sean's children, Collins (Lily Collins) and SJ (Jae Head).

Leigh Anne learns Michael has low grades scores, however he is 98th percentile for his protective instincts and she decides to use this to help him on the field. However in order to be able to play for the school, the Tuohy's hire Miss Sue (Kathy Bates) to tutor Michael in his studies, to bring his grade point up to at least a 2.5. Miss Sue gives Michael a pep talk to help him understand she will get him to the grades he needs to play. During this scene, you see the close-ups on Miss Sue and Michael as they are talking, with darker lighting to make the scene more dramatic. It comes time for Michael to decide on the college he wants to attend, while it seems, many including Miss Sue are trying to influence him on what college to attend, with Miss Sue and the Tuohy's Alma mater, Ole Miss. Michael decides Ole Miss and then the investigation ensues about the Tuohy's motives to influence Michael. Michael is called in to talk to the investigators and defends the Tuohy's without question, while Leigh Anne is waiting outside. Michael is finished with his interview and walks outside to Leigh Ann. In this scene, you will see they are using the two person camera angle to bring dramatics to the scene, where you see Leigh Anne asking Michael, what school he wanted to go as she realized no one had actually asked him. Michael went from being a homeless teen, to having a family who cared as much about Michael as he did them. He struggled through his studies to go to Ole Miss and becoming a professional football player being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens as a first round pick in 2009.
