PRINCETON – Kai Honda (Co-Offensive) and Brady Clark (Special Teams) were honored as Ivy League Players of the Week.
Honda had one of the all-time great performances rushing for 219 yards and four touchdowns as Princeton took down Columbia, 35-7.
The running back broke the program single-game record for rushing yards per carry (minimum of 10 carries) previously held by William Tryon (14.1) in 1951.
The junior became the first 200-yard rusher since Collin Eaddy (266) at Yale on Nov. 10, 2018 and first four-touchdown performer since Eaddy at Brown on Oct. 16, 2021. His 70-yard touchdown run was also the first 70-yard run by a Tiger since John Volker vs. Penn on Nov. 23, 2024.
Honda also became the first Princeton player to rush for 200 yards and score four touchdowns in a game since Keith Elias (299) vs. Lafayette on Sept. 26, 1992.
Clark booted four punts for an average of 55.5 yards. His 66-yard punt in the contest was the second longest of his career while three of his four boots went over 50+ yards.
This is the first weekly honor for both players. Princeton finishes the non-conference portion of the season at Wagner on Saturday (Oct. 10). Kickoff is set for 12 p.m.
