Sam Salz is an American former college football wide receiver who played for the Texas A&M Aggies. He is thought to be the first and only orthodox Jewish football player in NCAA Division I. Salz did not play organized football at any level prior to being added to the Texas A&M program as a walk-on. As he was not invited to join the football team, he practiced by himself within sight of the team and eventually earned a roster spot. He was on the Texas A&M roster for three seasons and played in one game for them.
