Hugh Freeze is excited to help Kaidon Salter write the next chapter of his college career. That chapter will begin as early as this season. Salter posted on social media Tuesday night he is eligible for Liberty's Sept. 4 season opener against Campbell. M ultiple university officials confirmed Salter's eligibility. The quarterback, a four-star recruit on 247Sports' composite ranking, announced he was transferring to Liberty from Tennessee on July 21 after two run-ins with police during the spring semester in Knoxville, Tennessee. The second incident resulted in his dismissal from the Volunteers' program before he played a snap.That did not deter Freeze, the Flames coach, and his staff from recruiting the talented signal caller to Lynchburg. "We ha d a lot of discussions throughout the process before he decided to come here and before we decided we wanted to go that route," Freeze said earlier this month. "I'm not afraid of people, kids that may have had a bump in the road or an issue. I'm afraid o f those that don't want to chase a standard. I know of very few people that have gotten it right all the time. We had those honest conversations with he and his family, and I'm convinced that he wants to write the next chapter of his life a little differ ently. I'm thrilled that I get the chance to play a role in it." Salter's transfer to Liberty gave the Flames their highest-ranked recruit in program history. - Lynchburg News and Advance

The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder from the Dallas suburb of Cedar Hill was suspended throughout spring practice after an alleged burglary at Stokely Hall in early March resulted in marijuana possession and d rug paraphernalia charges. "Kaidon Salter has been dismissed from our football program," Tennessee's athletic department announced Thursday in a statement. "We wish Kaidon and his family all the best in his future endeavors." - Chattanooga Times Free Pre ss
