Texas A&M edge rusher Anto Saka has been recognized in The Athletic's 2026 "Freaks List," an annual compilation of college football's most exceptional athletes, as announced by the school on Monday. Bruce Feldman, who compiles the list, noted that Saka stands out as the most extraordinary player in a notably talented defensive line group.
Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 255 pounds, Saka wears No. 14 and is a graduate student from Baltimore, having transferred to College Station from Northwestern. He is joined on the defensive line by Sam M'Pemba, a redshirt junior from Georgia who measures 6-foot-3 and 257 pounds.
The Freaks List highlights remarkable athletic testing results reported by strength coaches and programs, focusing on raw physical capabilities rather than on-field performance. This is why athletes can be featured before they participate in games for their new teams. Texas A&M did not disclose Saka's specific ranking on the list.
The list was published while the Aggies are in the midst of Fall Camp, with their season opener set for September 5 at Kyle Field.
