When the East-West Shrine Bowl roster was first released, TCU’s Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson was one of my top names that caught my eye at the cornerback position. Within his productive collegiate career, Hodges-Tomlinson became a household name, gaining First-Team All-Big 12 recognition on three separate occasions, in addition to being named an AP Second-Team All-American in 2020.
In total, the talented, yet undersized corner finished his career with 125 tackles, four tackles for losses, three forced fumbles, five interceptions, 36 passes defended, and a defensive touchdown. This past season, Hodges-Tomlinson helped TCU reach the National Championship game, the Horned Frogs best season since an undefeated 2010 campaign, winning the Thorpe Award, an award given annually to the nation’s top collegiate defensive back.
