The west Charlotte graduate has endured as much adversity as he has success after suffering major injures and finding himself at the center in a national story involving his eligibility to play at North Carolina following the pandemic.
Walker now has a new journey ahead as he has his sights set on the NFL and is expected to hear his name called during this weekend’s draft.
