TCU cornerback Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson chose to return for his senior season despite a coaching change and turnover on the staff after the Horned Frogs parted ways with former head coach Gary Patterson. The nephew of TCU legend LaDainian Tomlinson was rewarded for his commitment and his consistent throughout the 2022 season with the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award, which is presented each year to the best defensive back in college football.
Hodges-Tomlinson is the second TCU defensive back in three seasons to earn the award after former Horned Frog safety and current Las Vegas Raiders safety Tre’von Moehrig earned the honor in 2020.
