Discuss this and UNC Football with other Tar Heels fans

In today’s Daily Drop, sponsored by BetterHelp, THI staff writer Jacob Turner and Publisher Andrew Jones discuss the situation surrounding North Carolina wide receiver Tez Walker.

Walker, who transferred last winter to UNC from Kent State, is waiting to hear back from the NCAA regarding him appealing a ruling that he must sit out this season as a two-time transfer. He started out at N.C. Central but never played a snap there because its season was cancelled due to Covid.

He transferred to Kent State, played two seasons there, and then transferred to UNC last December. Walker enrolled in classes Jan. 9, but the NCAA changed its rule Jan. 11, essentially retroactively applying it to Walker.

He learned two weeks ago he must sit out this season, which UNC made public Tuesday.

Here, Jacob & AJ share their thoughts on this.

Sometimes in life we’re faced with tough choices, and the path forward isn’t always clear.

Whether you’re dealing with decisions around career, relationships, or anything else, therapy helps you stay connected to what you really want while you navigate life – so you can move forward with confidence and excitement.

Trusting yourself to make decisions that align with your values is like anything – the more you practice it, the easier it gets.

I know for me sometimes just talking things through with someone is super helpful. We can all get in our own heads and getting out of that state and sharing your thoughts with a person, let alone a trained professional, and getting feedback can bring a ton of clarity to your situation.
