Texas A&M edge rusher Anto Saka has been included in The Athletic's 2026 "Freaks List," an annual compilation of exceptional college football athletes, as announced by the school. This list, curated by Bruce Feldman, highlights the most extraordinary athletic testing figures reported by strength coaches across college football.

Saka, who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 255 pounds, is a graduate student from Baltimore and wears No. 14. He transferred to Texas A&M from Northwestern. He is part of a talented defensive line that also includes Sam M'Pemba, a redshirt junior from Georgia, who is listed at 6-3 and 257 pounds.

Feldman noted that Saka is regarded as the most remarkable athlete in a gifted defensive line room, emphasizing his standout abilities among his peers. The Freaks List serves as a measure of raw physical talent rather than on-field performance, allowing players to be recognized before they compete 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 the season opener scheduled for September 5 at Kyle Field.
