UNC Coach Mack Brown Rips NCAA for Denying Tez Walker’s 2023 Eligibility

The NCAA declared North Carolina wide receiver Devontez “Tez” Walker ineligible for the 2023 season, the school announced on Thursday.

Walker, who played the past two seasons at Kent State, transferred to North Carolina before the season in part to be closer to family, especially his ill grandmother. However, the wide receiver is a second-time transfer, having originally starting his college career at North Carolina Central in 2020. Because of that, he needs a waiver to play as a two-time transfer who has not yet graduated.

After the NCAA announced its decision, Tar Heels coach Mack Brown strongly criticized the organization.
