North Carolina’s offense will still be led by quarterback Drake Maye in 2023 but will look a little different. The team lost receivers Josh Downs and Antoine Green plus offensive coordinator Phil Longo who went to Wisconsin.

But the Tar Heels also added some talented receivers, headlined by former Kent State standout Devontez Walker. The receiver committed to North Carolina out of the transfer total and should be Maye’s go-to target right away.

As we get set for the upcoming season, College Sports Wire ranked the top wide receivers in the Atlantic Coast Conference. And Walker checked in at No. 4:

Why The Ranking:

There is probably no one happier that Tez joined the team over the offseason than Drake Maye. After losing top wideout Josh Downs to the NFL, the Tar Heels gets a long receiver, who can be a big-play threat down the field. With one of the best QBs in the country under center, Walker should get ample opportunity to show what he is made of. He caught 7 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown against the Georgia Bulldogs last season.

The only players ahead of Walker on the list were Florida State’s Johnny Wilson, Virginia Tech’s Ali Jennings and Louisville’s Jamar Thrash.

Walker is coming off a big season in 2022, catching 58 passes for 921 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns.
