Is Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence:
⚪️ The fourth Hanson brother
⚪️ Sunshine from ‘Remember The Titans’
As for the Sunshine nickname, it is not Lawrence’s preferred name, but it does not seem to bother the Clemson quarterback.
“It [Sunshine] is okay,” Lawrence explained to TigerNet. “I used to have short hair back in the day, so it didn’t really start until I started growing my hair out. But I never really liked it. I just like being called Trevor. Every time I start school or have new classes I hear William, because Trevor is my middle name. So, I go into a new class and I hear, ‘William Lawrence.’ I am not used to that, so I have to tell everybody I am just Trevor. That’s the name I like the best.”
As for Lawrence’s hair, the Clemson quarterback told Sports Illustrated’s Andy Staples that it started as a trial and now it has become permanent.
“I had really short hair my freshman year [of high school], and then I just decided to grow it out, and it kind of stuck,” Lawrence told Sports Illustrated. “So I just left it.”

Sunshine Nickname Fits Trevor Lawrence’s Demeanor
Not only does the long hair match Sunshine, but so does the laid-back demeanor. It is a big reason Clemson is playing for a national title in just his freshman season. Lawrence goes up against one of the best defenses in college football every week in practice. Tigers defensive tackle Christian Wilkins noted he has not been able to rattle Lawrence.
“As much as I might’ve gotten into his face or just me being who I am, he never really responded, he just shrugged it off,” Wilkins explained to ESPN. “He was never rattled; it never got into his head. I knew he’d be ready for the big stage because he just never responded.”
Lawrence’s hair became one of the biggest images of the 2018 college football season. Here’s a look at some of the best Lawrence memes and GIFs.
