Kai Honda is Princeton’s compact, productive back with real burst
In the 2025 season, Kai Honda logged 46 carries for 214 rushing yards and 1 touchdown for Princeton, giving the Tigers a reliable 4.7 yards per carry from a 5-foot-10, 200-pound back who brings balance and toughness to the run game. He was a freshman/young contributor in 2024 who didn’t play, then earned meaningful snaps in 2025, with reports noting he can pop a long run and also contribute as a receiver out of the backfield. If you want a physical, versatile RB with upside rather than a finished star, Honda is worth a close look.
