The Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame has announced TCU's Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson as the 2022 recipient of the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award, presented to the nation's top defensive back.

It's the second time in three seasons for TCU to have the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award winner. Former TCU safety and current Las Vegas Raider Tre'Von Moehrig was the 2020 recipient.

Hodges-Tomlinson helped lead TCU to its first College Football Playoff appearance with a 12-1 record, including a 9-0 Big 12 regular season. The Horned Frogs will face Michigan in the Dec. 31 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl. 

Hodges-Tomlinson was First-Team All-Big 12 for the third consecutive season and Honorable-Mention Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. He took part in a takeaway in four consecutive games with three picks and a forced fumble. He had an interception and three pass breakups as TCU held Texas to no offensive touchdowns and just 199 yards of offense in a 17-10 win in Austin. For the season, he totaled 42 tackles, including two for loss, with three interceptions, 11 pass breakups and a forced fumble.

Pro Football Focus rated Hodges-Tomlinson the No. 1 cornerback in the Big 12 in pass rush grade (91.8). He also led Big 12 cornerbacks with 857 snaps played this season.
