Anto Saka

Dean Kindig

Anto Saka, a redshirt sophomore from Northwestern, has quickly established himself as a standout EDGE rusher in the Big 10. With the #3 highest PFF grade among Big 10 EDGE players and a pressure rate of 12.7%, Saka's impact on the field is undeniable. He is one of only three Big Ten players since 2000 to achieve over 100 tackles, 5.0+ sacks, and 3+ interceptions in a single season. Despite participating in fewer than 300 defensive snaps and an unfinished masterpiece with his pass rush plan, he demonstrates extraordinary explosiveness, bend, and speed. As he continues to develop, Saka's potential to dominate at the collegiate level and beyond appears promising. Bobby: "No. 2 in the Big Ten in pass rush win rate last season (20.1%) "
