DECEMBER PORTAL PERIOD:
TRANSFERRING TO LIBERTY
TBD
TRANSFERRING FROM LIBERTY
12/4/24: DT Bryce Dixon
Dixon was an anchor on Liberty’s defensive line this past season. A starter, he recorded 32 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 2 fumble recoveries, and 2 pass breakups. Over three seasons, Dixon has 77 tackles, 5 pass breakups, and 2.5 sacks.
12/3/24: RB James Jointer
Jointer transferred to Liberty prior to the 2023 season from Arkansas where he was a highly rated prospect out of high school. In his first season with the Flames, Jointer had 43 carries for 251 yards and 2 touchdowns. This past season, while fighting through injuries, Jointer had 12 carries for 61 yards. With the losses of Quinton Cooley and Billy Lucas, it was expected that Jointer would fight to be a starting running back in 2025.
12/2/24: OL Jordan Hall
Hall transferred to Liberty this past summer from Monmouth. He had total ankle reconstruction surgery during the offseason and it took him a little while to get full speed this past fall. Once he did, he became a key member of Liberty’s rotation on the offensive line, working primarily at tackle.
12/2/24: QB Kaidon Salter
Salter has one year of eligibility remaining. He helped lead Liberty to unprecedented success in 2023 in his first full year as the team’s starting quarterback. The Flames finished the year at 13-1 following a loss to Oregon on New Year’s Day in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl. Salter completed 177 of 290 passes for 2,876 yards, 32 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He also rushed 163 times for 1,089 yards and 12 additional scores.
Salter briefly went into the portal following the Fiesta Bowl but changed his mind and returned to Liberty for the 2024 season. This past year as Liberty’s starting quarterback, Salter helped the Flames to an 8-3 season. He was 147 of 261 passing for 1,886 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions. He also rushed 114 times for 586 yards and 7 touchdowns.
12/2/24: OL Jordan White
Originally a transfer from West Virginia, White was named to the CUSA All-Conference second team in 2023 as he started all 14 games at center for the Flames. He played on nearly 94% of the team’s snaps last year. This season, White spent most of his time as Liberty’s starting left guard and was once again among the team leaders in snaps played.
12/2/24: OL Xavior Gray
Gray transferred to Liberty from Akron prior to the 2023 season. He started all 14 games for the Flames in 2023 at right tackle and ranked fifth on the team in total offensive snaps. This year, Gray maintained his spot as Liberty’s starting right tackle.
10/22/24: K Nick Brown
Brown is in the portal as a grad transfer. He served as Liberty’s primary kicker during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He made 16 of 29 field goals with a long of 49 and also connected on 105 PATs. Colin Karhu beat him out as the Flames’ kicker in 2024.
