Devon Achane and Bryce Foster make Bruce Feldmans's Freak List for 2022 season

On Wednesday, Bruce Feldman of The Athletic released his list of the top-100 “freaks” in college football and the Texas A&M Aggies had two offensive stars make the list.

Feldman’s list is compiled with the help of coaches, players, sports information directors, and NFL scouts from all over the nation.

In Feldman’s own words, the Freak List’s objective is “to spotlight the players who generate buzz inside their programs by displaying the unique physical abilities that wow even those who observe gifted athletes every day.”

Here are the Aggies who cracked the list:

No. 35 Devon Achane, Texas A&M RB/KR

An absolute spark with the ball in his hands, it is not hard to imagine why Achane made this list. His speed is elite and possibly second to none. Achane averaged 7.0 yards per rush in 2021 and nearly cracked 1,000 yards. Achane is projected to have a very productive season in his third year in College Station as he works to prove he has an NFL future.

“Arguably the fastest man in college football, the 5-9, 185-pound junior has big-time track credentials. He’s run a 10.02 personal best in the 100, although that was a wind-aided time. He’s also run a 10.14 100 that was legal with a 1.8 mph wind, which ranks as the 10th-fastest time in A&M history. Has also clocked a 20.20 200-meter time. Achane showed that dazzling speed when he took a kickoff back 96 yards midway through the third quarter in the win over No. 1 Alabama to help him average a robust 33.4 yards per return on the season. The 20-year-old was also second on the team in rushing with 910 yards and averaged 7.0 yards per carry. As a receiver he caught 24 passes for 261 yards and a touchdown.”

No. 51 Bryce Foster, A&M OL

It comes to no ones surprise that Foster found his way on to this list. Foster started all 12 games as a true-freshman, manning one of the most physical positions on the field. And he dominated it. He earned 2021 SEC All-Freshman Team, FWAA Freshman All-America Team, and The Athletic Freshman All-America First Team. He looks the part even in a normal setting. But put him in a weight room, and prepare to be astonished.

“Back in high school he could bench-press more than 400 pounds, and the 6-5, 325-pounder has only gotten more powerful. Foster, a sophomore, is an elite shot putter with a personal record of 64’ 8.75”, which ranks fifth best all-time for the Aggies, and keep in mind, Texas A&M has had three Olympic gold medal throwers: Randy Matson (1968); Mike Stulce (1992); Randy Barnes (1996). Foster and teammate Devon Achane were the only two NCAA football/track combination guys to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Last year, Foster started all 12 games for the Aggies as a true freshman and made the conference all-freshman team.”
