Salter emerged with the job after a close race with teenage freshman and five-star recruit Julian “JuJu” Lewis.

Deion Sanders said Tuesday he gave the edge to Salter because, “he's the guy at this point." Sanders added he hopes to work Lewis, who doesn't turn 18 until next month, into the game as well.
