For the first few years of his life, he lived with his dad in Germany who was stationed there.  His dad saw potential in him as an athlete. So he sent Michael back to Houston to live with his uncle, Arthur Strahan, who was a former football player.  Michael’s dad knew that with Arthur’s football experience Michael would get a leg up in becoming a pro football player.

Michael went to Westbury high school in Houston and played on the football team.  He himself claimed not to be the best.  Despite his belief, he managed to get a football scholarship.  As the saying goes we are our own worst critic

After high school, Michael attended Texas Southern University (TSU) where he again found success playing on the university’s football team for four years. During that time, he had 9 sacks and 103 tackles before graduating with a degree in broadcast journalism.
