The North Carolina Tar Heels will wear “No. 9 Tez” stickers on their helmets today against Appalachian State to stand in solidarity with wide receiver [autotag]Tez Walker[/autotag], whom the NCAA denied eligibility.
UNC may be without Walker this season, but they are doing everything possible to let the transfer student know he is not alone. Not only will Walker be an honorable captain today, but the team also announced they will be rocking a Carolina blue circle sticker with the No. 9.
The school took to social media to announce the new addition to today’s uniform, reminding everyone that despite the verdict, the team remains behind Walker.

Many have suggested Walker sue, with many public figures criticizing the NCAA’s decision. As of now, Walker will not be lacing up for UNC this year, but who knows what could happen if the free Tez chants continue to make waves around the nation.
