Clemson’s offensive line had fun on Halloween.
Linemen Cielin Ferrell, Dexter Lawrence, Jabril Robinson, Carlos Watkins and Christian Wilkins dressed as Power Rangers and showed up at Clemson coach Dabo Swinney’s house Monday night to trick-or-treat.
“[Swinney] was really surprised. He was thrilled,” Wilkins said via TigerNet. “We went to [defensive line coach Dan Brooks and defensive coordinator Brent Venables’] houses. They loved it. They just knew we were having fun and having a good time. Coach Brooks is actually Zordon. If you guys ever notice, it’s destiny, because the Oculus now looks like the command center. Every morning Coach Brooks texts us when there’s an early meeting and I’m like, ‘Affirmative, Zordon. On my way to the command center.’ That’s always my reply.”
Wilkins was the white ranger.

We had to brush up on our Power Rangers memory to catch the Zordon reference. He’s the large holographic face that talks to the Rangers and is their mentor. The Oculus is the latest addition to Clemson’s football complex.
The linemen also made sure to stay in character as much as possible while dressed up. Life is a lot more fun when you’re undefeated and just beat Florida State.
