Although Kaidon Salter is getting a taste of EA's College Football 26, he will soon turn his focus to Colorado for the 2025 season. Many believe that Salter will pip Julian Lewis for the QB1 role.

Salter has the experience of collegiate football, while Lewis is entering his freshman year at CU.

Salter committed to Tennessee in 2021, but was arrested on charges of simple possession and driving without a license while at the school. He was dismissed without playing a game for the Vols.

Salter transferred to Liberty later in the 2021 season. He played with them for just over three years before transferring to Colorado for the 2025 season.
