Report: QB Kaidon Salter Eyes Deion Sanders' Colorado, FSU, More in Liberty Transfer

Liberty quarterback Kaidon Salter has reportedly identified some potential landing spots as he prepares to enter the transfer portal.

According to Pete Nakos of On3.com, Salter is planning to take visits to Colorado, Florida State and Syracuse. UCLA and Auburn are also reportedly among the schools that have shown interest in landing him.

Salter announced his intentions to transfer from Liberty earlier this month with a lengthy statement posted to social media.

The signal-caller starred for the Flames for the last four seasons and appeared in 35 games. After redshirting in his first year with the team, he appeared in 33 games and made 29 starts over the last three seasons before finishing with career numbers of 5,887 passing yards, 56 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions while also adding 2,013 rushing yards and 21 more scores.

Salter had a breakout year in 2023 when he led Liberty to a 13-1 record, a Conference USA championship and an appearance in the Fiesta Bowl while setting single-season program records with 32 passing touchdowns and 1,089 rushing yards. However, he was less effective this year with 1,886 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions while adding 587 rushing yards and seven scores as the Flames went 8-3.

Prior to joining Liberty, Salter was committed to Tennessee out of high school. Thomas Goldkamp of On3.com noted that the Vols dismissed him the summer before his freshman year due to a pair of arrests and suspensions by the program.

Salter is widely regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the transfer portal this year, so he would be an instant difference-maker. Perhaps joining head coach Deion Sanders at Colorado to replace impending NFL draft prospect Shedeur Sanders would give Salter the opportunity to show his skills on a big stage.
