Leigh Anne and Collins Tuohy
Collins Tuohy, 22 is one of the people involved in The Blind side, the new movie
"He has such character and perseverance," says Collins Tuohy, 22, set to graduate from Ole Miss next month. "Obviously, he's changed and matured over the years. But we all do between the ages of 15 and 23."
Collins and Oher have a tight bond. It began when she helped him adjust to Briarcrest. It strengthened as they attended the same college. Oher took Collins to the hospital when she was ill and got the call when there was a flat tire.
"He mentors me; I mentor him," Collins says. "It just depends on the day."
As she prepared to accompany Oher to New York, where he is one of nine prospects invited to draft headquarters, Collins sounded like a typical sister.
"I'm a bit nervous," she said. "I really don't want him trucking off to some faraway place."
