Liberty transfer quarterback Kaidon Salter committed to Colorado on Wednesday, multiple outlets reported.
With one season of eligibility remaining, Salter will replace outgoing Buffaloes QB Shedeur Sanders, son of head coach Deion Sanders.
Salter guided Liberty to an 8-3 record and a berth to the Bahamas Bowl against Buffalo on Jan. 4.
In 2023, Liberty went 13-0 in the regular season, captured the No. 23 spot in the final College Football Playoff rankings and landed the school's first berth in a New Year's Six bowl game.
Salter initially began his college career at Tennessee, but he was dismissed from the program in June 2021 prior to his freshman season after he was arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession following a traffic stop.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound player from Cedar Hill, Texas, had been a four-star recruit out of high school.
