“He possesses a cannon. Secondly, he is extremely difficult to bring down,” stated Mike MacIntyre, head coach of FIU. Well, he was talking about Kaidon Salter, the Liberty Flames quarterback who’s been making waves in college football. Salter is a former Cedar Hill four-star prospect whose qualities have been visible on the field. His ability to be a dual threat is what makes him so intriguing. On several occasions, he used this ability to lead Liberty to big victories. And let’s not forget that his parents have been his biggest supporters throughout his football career.

Well, Mistee and Kenneth Salter are the parents of Kaidon. He has received encouragement from both of them throughout his athletic career. If you check Mistee’s X account, you’ll see how much she and Ken support their middle son, Kaidon. The couple have been to all his games, including the 2021 Texas UIL Class 6A Division II state championship game at AT&T Stadium. And Mistee’s always sharing such nostalgic photos of him on social media. This demonstrates how much his parents were invested in his football career. Now, it’s time to uncover the profound life journey of his parents.

Kaidon’s parents are high school sweethearts. Mistee and Ken met at DeSoto for the first time. Then, when Ken was a standout player for the Eagles football team, they got together and Mistee was there for him every game night, supporting him. Following that, they got married, and this November marks the twentieth anniversary of their union.

The duo have two daughters and three sons. Not only does Kaidon participate in sports, but so do his older and younger brothers since their father fostered a passion for athletics in them. However, under the current situation, Kaidon’s outstanding performance garners more attention than any. 

Kaidon Salter’s remarkable performance

Salter had a fantastic 2023 season, leading his team with 2,876 passing yards, 32 touchdowns, and a CUSA MVP award. He also impressed on the ground with 1,186 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. With such a strong performance last year, it’s no surprise that people have high expectations for him in 2024. Let’s see if he lived up to the hype.

The junior quarterback has had a bit of a bumpy start to the season this year. While he’s been effective in throwing the ball, with 949 yards and 7 touchdowns in 4 games, he hasn’t been running the ball as much as he did last year. It’s a bit surprising considering how well he performed on the ground last season.

However, it’s anticipated that Liberty’s top quarterback will put up a spectacular performance in Tuesday’s game, which will be the first to take place in Lynchburg between the Flames and FIU since 2020. Till then, keep patience, and let’s see what he has in store for his admirers.
