2022 PAYCOM JIM THORPE AWARD WINNER TRE’VIUS
HODGES-TOMLINSON, TCU
Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson was a three-star recruit out of
Mid-Way High School in Waco, Texas. He totaled 155 tackles, six
pass breakups and five interceptions during his standout prep
career. He was also selected first-team All-District 12-6A.
Following high School, Tre’Vius attended Texas Christian University
(TCU). He played in all 12 games as a freshman and finished his
first year at TCU with eight tackles, including seven solo.
Tre’Vius became one of the top cornerbacks in the country over
the course of his sophomore season. He was named to multiple
All-America teams. Pro Football Focus rated him the nation’s
highest graded cornerback in coverage at 90.6. He led the Big 12
with 13 pass breakups and finished the COVID-19 shortened season
with 26 total tackles. As a junior, Tre’Vius earned first team
All-Big 12 honors for a second straight season. He led TCU with
seven pass breakups and two forced fumbles. He finished with two
interceptions, one returned 29 yards for a touchdown against Texas
Tech and capped off his junior season with 41 total tackles.
Tre’Vius entered his senior season with high expectations and
ended it by winning the 2022 Paycom Jim Thorpe Award as the
nation’s top defensive back. He was named first-team All-Big 12 for
the third straight year and first team A.P. All-American. Tre’Vius
finished 2022 with 42 total tackles, 35 solo. He also forced one
fumble, had three interceptions, and had 11 pass breakups despite
teams consistently throwing away from him.
Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson was selected by the Los Angeles Rams
in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, with the 182nd overall
pick.
The Paycom Jim Thorpe Award is awarded to the best
defensive back in college football based on performance on the
field, athletic ability and character. The award was established in
1986 and is named after history’s greatest all-around athlete, Jim
Thorpe. Thorpe excelled as a running back, passer and kicker on the
offensive side of the ball, but also stood out as a defensive back.
In addition to his legendary performance on the football field,
Thorpe played professional baseball and won Olympic gold medals in
the decathlon and pentathlon. The Paycom Jim Thorpe Award is
universally accepted as one of the nation's top collegiate sports
honors.
Paycom Software, Inc. (“Paycom”) (NYSE: PAYC), a leading
provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management
software, and the Jim Thorpe Museum and Oklahoma Sports Hall of
Fame jointly announced in May 2017 an exclusive sponsorship of the
Jim Thorpe Award. As a result, the accolade has been named the
“Paycom Jim Thorpe Award.”
