Trevon Moehrig of Texas Christian University has been named the 2020 Paycom Jim Thorpe Award Winner, awarded to the top defensive back in college football. The announcement was made live virtually on
The Home Depot College Football Awards on ESPN. Moehrig was presented the 2020 Paycom Jim Thorpe Award on behalf of Paycom and the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame.
Moehrig is the first defensive back from TCU to be awarded the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award since it was established in 1986. He led nationwide ballots in the closest overall voting since a tie for the award in 1987.
Moehrig was a leader in the 2020 Horned Frogs defense and named TCU Team Captain in each game this season. He is one of the most versatile defensive players to come through TCU and was a key part of the Horned Frogs’ late-season surge, leading them to the 2020 Texas Bowl.
