Class of 2021 QB Kaidon Salter (TX) Portal to Colorado

They were paper tigers last year, got exposed against the first real team they played
I didn't expect them to be able to match the offers that Salter was going to get. they have deep pockes.
 
So yeah, this kid is really good. He’ll have a lot of suitors and Auburn is probably the team to beat. But I don’t bet against Fran especially with the season he just had and McCord just had. If we land this kid with the offensive weapons we have coming back. Expectations should be high again next year

This is the blueprint until we get our QB’s rolling organically. I think it’s in everyone’s best interest that we have another one year ready to go starter for at least next year, especially with the schedule. After that our QB depth chart should be mature enough to promote from within.
 
I hope this kid was injured this season because his numbers down the stretch in particular were pretty horrible. He was great in 2023. If he was healthy this year his production is concerning after being so good prior to that

Draft Profile: Bio​

Kaidon Salter emerged as a dynamic playmaker for Liberty in 2023, leading the Flames to a perfect 13-0 regular season and Conference USA championship. The dual-threat quarterback set school records with 32 passing touchdowns and 1,089 rushing yards by a QB. Salter's breakout campaign earned him CUSA MVP honors and put him on the national radar as a Maxwell Award semifinalist.

Originally a four-star recruit out of Cedar Hill High School in Texas, Salter's college career took a detour after a brief stint at Tennessee ended with his dismissal following two arrests. He found redemption at Liberty, working his way from a redshirt year in 2021 to part-time starter in 2022 before seizing the reins in 2023. Salter's electric play and leadership were instrumental in Liberty's successful transition to Conference USA.

Scouting Report: Strengths​

  • Plus-plus arm talent with the juice to zip throws into tight windows and stretch defenses vertically
  • Twitchy athlete with sudden burst and electric wheels, making him a constant home run threat in the open field
  • Savvy field general who can influence second-level defenders with his eyes and subtle pump fakes
  • Possesses a live arm capable of making all the NFL throws, particularly on outside breaking routes
  • Quick trigger and compact delivery help mitigate his lack of prototypical size in the pocket
  • Tough as nails with the grit to stand tall against the rush and deliver strikes under duress
  • Shows flashes of being able to get to his second and third read when the primary is bottled up
  • Natural alpha dog mentality evident in his ability to rally troops during clutch situations

Just not good enough. His tape vs bad defenses was lacking. 2024 Stats of 15 TD 6 Int for Rating of 131 vs that level of competition is not what we need or are looking for.
