Tez Walker named honorary UNC Hockey captain

Tez Walker named honorary captain ahead of UNC Hockey Saturday night match-up against ECU.

The fight to let Tez Walker play continues to play out, and many are hopeful that we may see him play this season after the NCAA granted Minnesota two-time transfer Craig McDonald a waiver request.

While we await a hopeful change in the Walker verdict, the spotlight remains on the transfer wide receiver. Walker has had his name echoed throughout Kenan Stadium and “FREE TEZ” signs and chants on college football’s GameDay.

The UNC hockey program is joining the party, announcing that Walker will be an honorary captain for their Saturday night match-up against ECU.

The post garnered its highest view count in over ten days, with more than 7k views on the announcement.

It is always great to see UNC programs joining together for the bigger picture. After losing their exhibition opener, the Tar Heels are on a three-game win streak, and with Tez in the building, that could be enough of a spark to ignite their fourth win.
