Eric Church supports Tez Walker pregame

Posted Sep 2, 2023
The biggest story ahead of UNC’s game against South Carolina was the status of receiver Tez Walker. He was ruled ineligible by the NCAA in August. However, the NCAA did not rule on the appeal, making Walker ineligible for the season opener. Noted UNC fan Eric Church was an honorary captain for Saturday’s game and wore a Walker jersey.
