The 25-year-old starred at Texas Christian University, helping the Horned Frogs make it to the 2023 College Football National Championship Game.
With veteran cornerback Charvarius Ward set to become a free agent and likely signing elsewhere, filling out the secondary is a big target for San Francisco general manager John Lynch this offseason.
Tomlinson fits the bill, and his physical style of play could work well in Robert Saleh’s defense.
