Football is back. Well, in some states at least.

Massachusetts public schools returned to the field for a spring football season last week after the usual fall season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the most anticipated matchups of opening week was Mansfield (Mass.) High vs. Franklin (Mass.) High.

However, 2021 Michigan defensive line signee TJ Guy and his Mansfield team raced out to a huge halftime lead and came away with a 49-7 blowout win.

“It was crazy to be playing,” Guy said. “I didn’t get any sacks, but I got a lot of double and triple teams, and my guys ate because of that, which was good to see. But like I said, it’s crazy to be back. I never thought I’d be here in March.”

Guy only played in the first half as the second half featured a running clock. The former three-star recruit recorded two tackles and several quarterback hurries, while also starting at offensive tackle.

Guy signed with Michigan in December and could have sat out his senior campaign. It was something he thought about long and hard, but the Michigan staff encouraged him to play, and he didn’t want to let his local community down.
