A rare two-sport standout, Salter earned a combined seven varsity letters at Pitt, four in track and field and three in football. On the track, he set program records in the high jump (6-feet-11) and triple jump (50-8.25), earning All-America status in both events, and placed third in the triple jump at the 1970 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. On the football field, Salter led Pitt in interceptions in 1970 with four and was named a United Press International First Team All-East defensive back that season. The San Diego Chargers selected him in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, and he went on to play six professional seasons.
