A willing run defender, Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson plays on the boundary for TCU but will be projected into the slot at the next level. He’s an excellent athlete with a lot of juice and flexibility, but his frame and lack of play strength limit him even in a slot role. THT is the nephew of TCU legend LaDanian Tomlinson and chose TCU over Baylor, Kansas State, and Iowa State.

Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson scouting notes

Pros:

• Very good speed. He can fly when he needs to. Should run a sub 4.4. 
• Acceleration is good. 
• Very explosive athlete. 
• Fluid hips. Excellent athlete. 
• Shows good recovery ability with an insane burst. 
• He attacks the ball to try and strip the runner. Puts a lot of effort into run defense. 
• Decent man coverage ability. I like his ability to use the sideline as an additional defender.
• He is physical enough to contest catches, even when he’s at an extreme size mismatch. 
• Settles into his zone with proper depth. 
• Good recognition ability in zone coverage. Seamlessly adjusts to the play. 

Cons:

• He is simply undersized to maintain a role on the boundary.
• He lacks a lot of upper-body play strength to make him a more effective defender. 
• Not a great wrap-up tackler, but THT makes some plays through blocks to trip ball carriers up. 
• Pursuit angles are very meh. He struggles to get it right consistently and is just a step behind. 
• A step slow sometimes when reacting to the catch point.
