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.
