College football teams across the country have already started assembling their rosters for the 2023 season. Although there is still a chance to make additions during the upcoming May transfer window, most rosters are pretty set with national signing day behind us.

As we start looking ahead to the 2023 season, there are multiple talented pass-catchers coming back to play another year. While some have been stars at their schools their whole careers, some are looking to start fresh at new schools via the transfer portal.

Let's take a look at the top 10 receiving stars for 2023—and, yes, a tight end is included. We'll take into account what they've done so far, their big-play ability and the supporting cast they have around them.

North Carolina's Devontez Walker

The Tar Heels finished 9-5 last season, which marked head coach Mack Brown's best finish since arriving in Chapel Hill in 2019. A big reason for UNC's success last season was how well redshirt freshman quarterback Drake Maye played, throwing for 4,321 yards and 38 touchdowns with seven interceptions.

But in 2023, Maye will lose two of his biggest offensive weapons in receivers Josh Downs and Antoine Green, who are both headed to the NFL. Luckily, Brown landed Kent State transfer Devontez Walker.

Walker spent the first two seasons of his FBS career with the Flashes, and he's coming off his best season in 2022. He finished with 58 receptions for 921 yards and 11 touchdowns, tying for the Mid-American Conference lead in TD catches. He averaged 15.9 yards per reception, too.

"He's 6'3", he has a lot of skills like [former UNC receiver] Dyami [Brown]," Mack Brown said of Walker earlier this month. "He's so fast for his height… Tremendous ball skills. He will be an outside receiver… We've got to get back to throwing the ball deep."

Walker, a Charlotte native, started his career at the MEAC's NC Central but transferred to Kent State after the school canceled its 2020 season.

With as good a season as Maye had in 2022, Walker is expected to do big things for this Tar Heels offense in 2023. The wideout has the talent to have a true breakout season in Chapel Hill, and UNC could use that with Downs and Green gone.
