Texas A&M edge rusher Anto Saka has been featured on The Athletic's 2026 "Freaks List," an annual compilation of college football's standout athletes, as announced by the school on Monday. Bruce Feldman, who compiles the list, noted that Saka is among the most exceptional athletes in a talented defensive line group.

Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 255 pounds, Saka wears jersey number 14. He is a graduate student from Baltimore, having transferred to College Station from Northwestern. He is joined by another transfer in the defensive line, Sam M'Pemba, who is 6-3 and 257 pounds and came from Georgia as a redshirt junior.

The Freaks List highlights remarkable athletic testing results reported by strength coaches and programs, focusing on physical capability rather than on-field performance. Texas A&M did not disclose Saka's specific ranking on the list.

The announcement comes as the Aggies are in the midst of Fall Camp, with the season opener scheduled for September 5 at Kyle Field.
