Liberty quarterback Kaidon Salter, who reportedly entered the transfer portal on Tuesday, has withdrawn his name and intends to remain with the Flames, according to a Friday report from 247Sports’ Chris Hummer and Matt Zenitz.
One of the most productive dual-threat quarterbacks in the country, Salter threw for 2,876 yards and 32 touchdowns with just six interceptions in the 2023 season, and he added 1,089 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground. His 3,965 yards of total offense was the tenth-most in the nation this season, and his 8.75 yards per play trailed only Heisman winner Jayden Daniels from LSU, Jason Bean of Kansas, and Oregon‘s Bo Nix.
Salter was named the Conference USA MVP for his efforts, and he led Liberty to an undefeated 13-0 season, a conference title, and a Fiesta Bowl appearance.
The young quarterback has two years of eligibility remaining, and he was ranked as the fifth-best quarterback to reach the portal according to 247Sports above notable names like Will Howard and Riley Leonard.
