When Deion Sanders took the reins at Colorado, he promised a culture built on family and excellence. That vision took another step forward as linebacker Kylan Salter announced his transfer to Colorado, reuniting with his older brother, quarterback Kaidon Salter.Together, they’re set to bring a dynamic brotherly bond to Boulder.
A Bond Forged in Football
The Salter brothers have always shared the field, but now they’re bringing that chemistry to the Buffaloes. Kylan, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound linebacker from Cedar Hill, Texas, spent the past two seasons with TCU. Despite limited opportunities in 2024 due to injuries, he’s ready for a fresh start under Coach Prime. Kaidon, meanwhile, brings a decorated résumé, including Conference USA MVP honors in 2023 with over 5,800 career passing yards. Together, their connection could spark something special in Colorado’s locker room and on the field.
Building on Colorado’s Family Culture
Under Sanders, family connections have become a hallmark of Colorado football. From Shedeur and Shilo Sanders to Travis Hunter, who calls Sanders a father figure, the program thrives on tight-knit relationships. Last season there were six sets of siblings on the roster. Kylan’s arrival not only bolsters the linebacker corps but strengthens the team’s identity. His social media post, “Turning the backyard into our own stadium,” encapsulates this family-first mentality.

A Vision for 2025
Kylan’s transfer also points to Colorado’s growing depth and future potential. With Shedeur Sanders moving to the NFL, Kaidon could step into a starting role, while Kylan aims to become a defensive staple. The Salter brothers embody Coach Prime’s blueprint: talented athletes committed to a shared mission of restoring the Buffaloes to prominence.
