Colorado football opened up fall camp with its first practice on Tuesday, and Kaidon Salter made an instant highlight play as he battles for the starting quarterback position.
Salter was captured on video throwing a beautiful goal line fade to wide receiver Omarion Miller.
A potential Salter-Miller connection would be beneficial for the Buffaloes’ offense, which has lost Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.
Salter, a transfer from Liberty, is competing against star freshman Julian Lewis to become Colorado’s starting quarterback and is making his presence felt, albeit in one practice.
Salter won Conference USA MVP in 2023 with the Flames, but had a down year last season. He threw for 1,886 yards with 22 total touchdowns in 2024, but if he can regain his MVP form that saw him put up 44 total touchdowns, he would immediately become one of the Big 12’s top signal-callers.
The quarterback battle will be a major storyline to follow throughout fall camp, leading up to the season opener against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Aug. 29.
