Low-Mileage LB with Big Upside and Special-Teams Juice
Kylan Salter is a physical 6-foot-2, 230-pound defender whose biggest draw is untapped upside: after a knee injury wiped out his 2023 season, he returned in 2024 and in his first year at Colorado logged 6 tackles in 10 games while becoming one of the Buffs’ most reliable special-teams contributors. He was a three-star recruit and former top-70 linebacker prospect in the portal, and evaluators view him as a high-effort depth piece with quick development potential. The fit is best for a team that values toughness, versatility, and lunch-pail edge over instant-star production.
