2022 Paycom Jim Thorpe Award Winner Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson of Texas Christian University paid a special visit to Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation today at INTEGRIS Health Southwest Medical Center.
He toured the facility and signed autographs for patients and staff. The Jim Thorpe Award is given annually to the top defensive back in college football.
Hodges-Tomlinson was a leader on TCU’s defense and became one of the most reliable players for the 2022, 12-1 record Horned Frogs. He played the most snaps (857) among cornerbacks in the Big 12.
A tremendous cornerback who has been locked in all season, Hodges-Tomlinson was responsible for 42 tackles, including two for loss, three INTs, 11 PBUs and a forced fumble, leading the TCU Horned Frogs to a 9-0 Big 12 regular season record and its first College Football Playoff appearance in program history.
Hodges-Tomlinson is a star off the field, as well. He volunteered at a local Fort Worth homeless shelter and a youth leadership camp at The Star in Frisco; assisting his uncle, LaDainian Tomlinson (Pro Football Hall of Famer and TCU Board of Trustees Member), with his youth camp and center for leadership and Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jordaun Lewis at a youth camp in Detroit; and hosting and training youth in his hometown of Waco, Texas.
Hodges-Tomlinson is the second defensive back from TCU to earn the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award. He was preceded by Tre’von Moehrig in 2020.
Paycom and Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame will honor Hodges-Tomlinson at the 37th Anniversary of the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award Banquet on Feb. 7, 2023, in Oklahoma City
