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

Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 255 pounds, Saka, who wears No. 14, hails from Baltimore and transferred to College Station from Northwestern. He is joined on the defensive line by Sam M'Pemba, a redshirt junior from Georgia, who measures 6-3 and 257 pounds.

The Freaks List showcases remarkable athletic testing results reported by strength coaches across college football, focusing on physical capabilities 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 their season opener scheduled for September 5 at Kyle Field.
