Walker came into the Rar Heels program from Kent State through the transfer portal but didn't feature in the first four games for the team. The NCAA has tightened its rules regarding multiple transfers and deemed him ineligible. However, they recently came out with a statement granting him a waiver citing 'new information' in the case. They also blamed UNC for not providing the said information earlier. though, there specific details of this new information remain undisclosed.

The Tar Heels won't mind it as they can now take him out of the scout team to put him on the roster. The already formidable UNC offense suddenly looks even more intimidating.

The Tar Heels are up and running

UNC has already started the 2023 season with everything they have got to pull out the results. They have taken the field four times this season till week 5 and have emerged winners on all four occasions.

Maye has thrown for 1,187 yards in the four games with a 72.7% pass completion rate. He has found a teammate in the endzone five times so far. Nevertheless, his biggest cause of concern would be the four picks under his name. Maye would hope that the arrival of Tez Walker puts a rest to those numbers.

Will the Tar Heels get what they want out of Walker?
