Texas A&M edge rusher Anto Saka has been included in The Athletic's 2026 "Freaks List," an annual compilation highlighting exceptional college football athletes, as announced by the school on Monday. Bruce Feldman noted that Saka stands out as the most remarkable talent among a highly skilled defensive line group, according to the athletics department.
Saka, who is 6-foot-4 and weighs 255 pounds, wears jersey number 14. He is a graduate student from Baltimore and transferred to College Station from Northwestern. He is joined by fellow transfer Sam M'Pemba, a redshirt junior from Georgia, who measures 6-foot-3 and weighs 257 pounds.
The Freaks List showcases extraordinary athletic testing results in college football, based on reports from strength coaches and programs. It emphasizes raw physical talent rather than on-field performance, allowing players to be recognized before they compete with their new teams. Texas A&M did not disclose Saka's specific ranking on the list.
The announcement coincides with Texas A&M's Fall Camp as the team prepares for its season opener on September 5 at Kyle Field.
