Sunshine look-a-likes: This 'Remember the Titans' hairstyle has taken over college football

USA TODAY Sports Sunshine hair across the FBS.

There’s no denying Sunshine was one of the coolest characters in the film "Remember the Titans." And a lot of that had to do with his long, flowing, golden locks. 

This football season, it’s hard to see Clemson’s quarterback Trevor Lawrence and not think Sunshine might have been some of his fashion inspiration. Just like Sunshine, he and his luscious locks came into a program as the new kid and helped the team absolutely dominate. Lawrence's hair is such a phenomenon, it even has its own fan Twitter account

But he’s not the only one rocking the Sunshine hairdo this season. The look has been popping up around the nation, from quarterbacks to offensive linemen.
