Deion Sanders is on a mission to reshape the Colorado Buffaloes, and his latest move brings a powerful addition to the defense—linebacker Kylan Salter, transferring from TCU. Salter, the 13th transfer of this cycle, strengthens the linebacker corps while adding a special family connection—he’s the younger brother of Kaidon Salter, a Buffaloes commit and former Liberty quarterback.
Kylan’s collegiate journey started at TCU, where his freshman year was cut short by injury, forcing him to redshirt. However, in 2024, he made his return in the final two games, including a performance in the Isleta New Mexico Bowl, showcasing his potential with two tackles.
The Texas native was a three-star recruit out of Cedar Hill High School, ranked No. 58 nationally at linebacker by 247Sports. His standout junior season boasted 115 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and four forced fumbles, with two fumble returns for touchdowns. Salter’s athleticism also extends to track, where he was a key player on his high school’s relay teams.
This transfer is part of Coach Sanders’ aggressive roster overhaul, addressing the Buffs’ defensive needs after a tough 2024 season. With Salter’s blend of speed, strength, and versatility, he fits perfectly into Sanders’ vision for a faster, more dynamic defense. Expect big things from Salter as Colorado looks to bounce back in 2025 and build a championship-caliber squad!
