2024 Fantasy Outlook
Salter wasn't locked in as the starter heading into fall camp in 2023, but how the tides have turned since then. He ran with the starting gig, both figuratively and literally, racking up 1,089 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns under the tutelage of Jamey Chadwell, who had similar success with Grayson McCall while at Coastal Carolina. Salter added 2,876 passing yards and a 32:6 TD:INT ratio, trailing only Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix in fantasy production. He enters 2024 as arguably the top fantasy quarterback alongside Nix's replacement at Oregon in Dillon Gabriel. Salter does lose CJ Daniels from his receiving corps, which shouldn't be understated, but Treon Sibley returns and the Flames add a bevy of transfer wideouts to fill the gaps in the passing attack. LIberty's schedule remains among the easiest in the college football ranks in 2024, so there's little reason Salter can't replicate his 2023 output this season. Read Past Outlooks
Pledges to Coach Prime
Salter will transfer to Colorado, Max Olson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Colorado has set itself up beautifully at the quarterback position. In the 2025 recruiting class, it signed top signal caller Julian "Ju Ju" Lewis, and now it's added a veteran to be a bridge quarterback between him and Shedeur Sanders. Salter isn't just any veteran, though - he's been a starter with Liberty for the better part of three years and is coming off a season in which he tossed for 1,886 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 56.3 percent of his passes. Salter is also a dual threat quarterback, as he added 587 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground this fall. He'll be the immediate favorite at QB1 in Boulder.
