In this episode of Behind the Uniform - Season 3 - we feature senior edge TJ Guy. An expected breakout star for the Michigan defense, Guy discussed his physical transformation, starting as a raw athlete at just 230 lbs., to a more stout 250 lbs. Guy reflects on coming from an area often overlooked for football talent in the Northeast and feeling overlooked himself, and praises Michigan for looking beyond the obvious and finding hidden gems from his home region, such as Mike Sainristil, Josaiah Stewart, Zak Zinter, and Cornelius Johnson. The conversation then shifts to traits he emulates from past Michigan linemen like Aidan Hutchinson while also maintaining his own style. Guy then recounts the transition period to Wink Martindale, which was bumpy at first before meshing later on, ultimately leading to another victory over Ohio State and a successful season. Attention shifts to insights gleaned from Behind the Uniform's financial literacy boot camp. Guy shares lessons learned from the "Playbook for Prosperity" seminar with the University of Michigan Credit Union, stressing the importance of budgeting, and David Himich from The Himich Group at Morgan Stanley on long-term financial planning. The interview concludes with Guy sharing his excitement for the upcoming season and the team's potential to be special.
