He moved to tight end after a redshirt season and played in 12 of 15 games during TCU’s run to the title game. Honig won the starting job last season in large part because of his blocking ability, but he did have six catches, with three for touchdowns. At 6-7, 270 pounds with just 14 percent body fat, some scouts think he could project to offensive tackle at the next level because of his hulking frame and impressive athleticism. There is a lot here. He’s cleaned 395 pounds — the most UConn strength coach Tyson Brown’s ever seen in his 16 years in the business. Honig, who has 11-inch hands, also benched 225 for 30 reps. He vertical jumped 36 inches and broad jumped 10-5. Honig would’ve been a pretty hot commodity had he gone in the portal this offseason, but he is very loyal to coach Jim Mora and the Huskies. “He is a phenomenal guy with as good of a work ethic and character as I’ve been around,” said Brown, who has coached at Mississippi State, Baylor, Washington and Washington State. “He’s a big-time leader for us.” <- [/QUOTE]
