Texas A&M DL Prospect Soars on Freaks List
11 Aug
Summary
- Anto Saka's athleticism earns him a spot on Feldman's 2026 Freaks List.
- Saka made a significant jump from No. 56 to No. 31 on the list.
- Rice RB D'Andre Hardeman Jr., son of an ex-Aggie, also ranked highly.
Texas A&M is actively building a top-tier roster, with defensive lineman Anto Saka emerging as a standout prospect. The former Northwestern transfer now appears SEC-ready, combining a solid frame with elite speed off the edge after adding weight in College Station.
Saka's explosive potential was evident last season, where he recorded 30 pressures despite a limited role. This performance contributed to his significant rise on Bruce Feldman's annual 2026 Freaks List, jumping from No. 56 to No. 31 among defensive linemen.
The list also recognized Rice running back D'Andre Hardeman Jr. at No. 19. Hardeman, son of former Aggie running back Tiki Hardeman, impressed with exceptional strength and speed metrics, including 34 reps of 225 pounds and a 21.3 mph sprint speed.
