UNC Football: Governor Cooper urges NCAA to reinstate Devontez Walker

The Governor of North Carolina is trying to help the UNC football program in its quest to have wide receiver transfer Devontez Walker reinstated.

Shocking news broke early this week as the NCAA denied the immediate eligibility of Kent State transfer Devontez Walker.

After originally being granted the immediate eligibility waiver, the UNC football program was advised that the ruling was overturned. Now, just a little over 20 days before opening kickoff, the status of Walker, who is expected to play a big role in the UNC football program’s offense, is certainly in doubt.
