Texas A&M transfer Anto Saka expected to enhance Aggies' defense

Texas A&M transfer Anto Saka is set to play a crucial role in the Aggies' defense this fall as they prepare for the 2026 season. Coach Mike Elko emphasized Saka's maturity and work ethic, noting his integration into the defensive line alongside senior T.J. Searcy. Saka, who stands 6'4" and weighs 255 pounds, has impressed in preseason practices, with expectations for him to bolster both the pass rush and run defense after A&M's struggles in the previous season. The Aggies aim for an improved defensive performance as they look to replace standout Cashius Howell, who excelled in his final season in College Station.
