Liberty transfer QB Kaidon Salter plans to visit Syracuse, Colorado, Florida State

One of the top quarterbacks in the NCAA transfer portal is going to take visits, with Liberty star Kaidon Salter honing in on his next destination.

According to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos, Salter plans to visit Syracuse this week and is currently planning to visit both Colorado and Florida State. Auburn and UCLA have also shown interest in the Liberty star.

Salter’s plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal were first reported on Dec. 2. Salter made those intentions known with a long graphic on social media.

Kaidon Salter spent the last four seasons with the Flames. That was after he originally committed to Tennessee out of high school. He was dismissed by the Volunteers during the summer prior to his freshman year following a pair of arrests and suspensions by the program.

But his second chance at Liberty has been remarkably successful.

Over his career at Liberty, Kaidon Salter appeared in 35 games. He redshirted his first year before appearing in 33 games, 29 of which were starts, the last three season. In those outings, Salter was 412-702 (58.7%) in passing for 5,887 yards, 56 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions. He has also rushed for 2,013 yards and 21 more scores.

Salter had a record-breaking year in 2023 as he led Liberty to a 13-1 record. They had a perfect regular season and won the Conference USA Championship. That was before a loss to Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl during the New Years Six. Among those records were single-season passing touchdowns and single-season rushing yards.

This season, Kaidon Salter was 147-261 (56.3%) for 1,886 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions while also rushing for 587 yards and seven more scores.
