 Garrett Walston, North Carolina, Player News


  Garrett Walston's transformation into the rubber band man just might rejuvenate his NFL draft hopes and the tight end's role in the Tar Heels' passing game. Walston wanted to become a better blocker and route runner, and to do that he needed to increase his flexibility and agility. He took a very specific request into the office of strength and conditioning coach Brian Hess after spring practices to ask for a plan. Not just any plan, mind you. He wanted something that would incorporate a lot of the elements that would make him a complete player, like flexibility to help him get lower for run blocking. "I need a full plan on ankle mobility, hip mobility, running mobility, and I don't want it to be some one-page thing, I want it to be in depth," Walston told Hess. "I want it to take like 30 minutes to do, so they created me a personalized plan. And I went out to Wal-Mart and bought about every stretching ban and thick yoga mats so my knees could be supported."

The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Wilmington native has stuck to the plan ever since. He breaks out those resistance bands and yoga mat and goes through his routine, no matter how tired he is, before going to sleep at night. He also does it before and after lifting weights. UNC offensive coordinator Phil Longo has already noticed the difference from the spring drills to the start of fall camp. Longo said Walston has "the best hands on the team." "He's done such a tremendous job of developing his body physically," Longo said. "Hess and those guys have a plan for him. He's attacked the plan. He's much more of a physical specimen than he was before. So he I think he's a lot more than competent in the box now that makes him the true dual-threat tight end that we all would hope to recruit every year." - Raleigh News Observer

  North Carolina and quarterback Sam Howell will have another trusted component on offense back next football season, with the return of veteran tight end Garrett Walston. Coach Mack Brown said Monday the senior Walston has chosen to use the extra year of college eligibility made available by the NCAA, and will stay on to play for the Tar Heels in 2021, his sixth season in the program. Walston had four catches in North Carolina’s loss to Texas A&M in the Orange Bowl during the weekend. - The Times News
