Posted Sep 23, 2021
It was a phone call UNC tight end Garrett Walston will never forget. "I remember dropping to my knees and my phone hitting the ground," Walston said, remembering what happened when he learned his friend, Riley Estes, had died by suicide in February. Estes was a 19-year-old student at UNC-Wilmington. Garrett and Riley had a brotherly relationship.
