Kaidon Salter played four seasons for the Liberty Flames, transferring to the Buffs in December 2024. He played 35 games for the Flames and recorded 5,889 yards and 56 TDs passing, along with 21 rushing yards on the field. He spent the offseason battling with five-star freshman Julian Lewis before being given the QB1 job ahead of their season opener against Georgia Tech.

Unfortunately, Kaidon Salter struggled to help the Buffs start the season with a win. In Week 1, he completed 17 of 28 passes attempted for 159 yards and two total touchdowns. However, Coach Prime's team eventually lost 27-20 at home.

The quarterback was unimpressive last week against Delaware, completing just 13 of 16 passes attempted for 102 yards and one rushing touchdown. He was replaced by Ryan Staub in the game, who recorded 157 yards and two TDs passing. This resulted in Coach Prime naming him as the starter in Week 3 against Houston.

The retired three-time Super Bowl champ criticized Salter's play and talked about how the quarterback needs to improve his game if he wants to remain the QB1 and not lose his job to a third-string option like Ryan Staub.

"Salter missed too many throws," Sharpe said (1:35). "There are certain throws that he has to make being the starting quarterback. For one, you're playing for Coach Prime. Two, you are playing for Colorado. You have to do everything the right way to give yourself and your team the best chance to win."
