TCU cornerback is a two-time First-Team All-Big 12 selection
OKLAHOMA CITY -- TCU cornerback Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson has been included on the watch list for the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award, presented annually to the nation's top defensive back.
Hodges-Tomlinson, named to multiple Preseason All-America teams, is a two-time First-Team All-Big 12 recipient. The senior from Waco, Texas, was a 2020 All-American by the Associated Press and Pro Football Focus.
Despite teams consistently throwing away from him last season, Hodges-Tomlinson had a team-best seven pass breakups and two forced fumbles. He also tied for the TCU lead with two interceptions, including one returned 29 yards for a touchdown in a 52-31 win at Texas Tech which helped him earn Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors. He was sixth on TCU in 2021 with 42 stops, more than his first two years combined (34). Exclusively a cornerback in his TCU career, he moved to safety midway through the Texas game when the Horned Frogs became thin at the position. He responded with a career-high 10 tackles while forcing a fumble.
TCU's Tre'von Moehrig, now with the Las Vegas Raiders, won the 2020 Paycom Jim Thorpe Award.
