TALLAHASSEE, Fla. | The 2021 Buck Buchanan Award winner continues to make headlines in the preseason as he is one of 100 to be named to The Athletic's Freak List. Isaiah Land is the only player from an HBCU to make the list.

Bruce Feldman from The Athletic creates the list. The Freaks list is compiled with the help of many coaches, players and sports information directors, as well as NFL scouts from all over the nation.

"64. Isaiah Land, FAMU, edge

The winner of the 2021 Buck Buchanan Award, honoring the nation's top defensive player in FCS football, Land led the nation in sacks with 19 and in TFLs with 25.5. Not bad for a player who was 6-3, 180 pounds in high school and whose only offer was from Florida A&M. After last season, Land put his name in the portal and drew offers from Auburn, Georgia, LSU and Texas, among others, but opted to stay at FAMU.

Coach Willie Simmons says he loves Land's motor and his toughness. Land, now 6-4, 225, clocked a 4.6 40 this offseason and broad-jumped 10-9. His L-drill time was 6.7 seconds. He also bench pressed 375 and squatted 600."
