Colorado head coach Deion Sanders appears to have found a replacement for his son Shedeur.
Liberty transfer quarterback Kaidon Salter committed to Colorado on Wednesday, his agent told Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.

Salter is a dual-threat quarterback who spent the last two seasons as Liberty’s starter. He was the Conference-USA MVP in 2023 after he threw for 2,876 yards, 32 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. Salter rushed for 1,089 and 12 touchdowns that year.
This season, Salter has 1,886 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He has rushed for 587 yards and 7 scores.
Salter will have a strong chance to start at Colorado, though he may have to compete with the 4-star recruit the Buffaloes landed last month.
