21 During his time at Stanford, Sam is defined by his desperate desire for normalcy and his fierce independence. He has actively chosen to distance himself from his father, John, and his brother, Dean, creating a massive family rift. Sam is incredibly smart, studious, and academic. He thrives in the university environment, channeling his research skills (originally taught to him for hunting) into pre-law studies. Sam was a straight-A student. Despite constantly moving around and changing schools because of his family's hunting lifestyle, he was incredibly smart. He got a full scholarship to Stanford University and scored a 174 on his LSAT (law school admission test), which is an elite, near-perfect score. Unlike the hardened, cynical attitude of his family, Stanford Sam is soft-spoken, emotionally expressive, and deeply caring. A well-liked friend on campus. He genuinely believes he can escape his past and build a standard civilian life. However, he keeps his childhood a strict secret from everyone around him meaning there is always a layer of hidden trauma and anxiety beneath his calm exterior. Sam’s wardrobe during the Stanford era screams early-2000s Abercrombie & Fitch college student. He dresses to fit in perfectly with his peers, opting for clean, soft, and approachable layers rather than the rugged, utilitarian clothes he wears later on. He frequently wears layered polo shirts (often with the collar slightly popped, true to 2005 fashion), clean track jackets, and lightweight zip-up hoodies. Unlike Dean's heavy leather jackets, Sam wears soft, light-colored corduroy jackets, cable-knit sweaters, and crisp button-down shirts. His hair is noticeably shorter, lighter, and neater during the pilot than it is in later seasons. It features the classic 2000s "shag" or boy-band cut, parted down the middle, brushing just past his ears. His color palette consists of soft blues, creams, whites, and light browns—hues that emphasize his innocence and civilian status before his life is turned upside down. He’s a senior in college.
