Fun Facts about Brody: His career is nothing short of remarkable. Three years after joining the PRCA, he qualified for his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and left with the average title finishing the season second in the world standings. He went to his home in Texas where he was attending Tarleton State University and immediately got back to work. The next year saw him having the expected success, then a broken leg sent him home to recover in time for the WNFR. He finished the 2018 season in 12th. That is the lowest he has ever been since his first WNFR. He finished second in 2019 and the past three years finished third. That’s where he’s starting this year and for the newly engaged Wyoming cowboy, there is no place to go but up. Brody relies on the lessons he learned while wrestling in high school to keep him on his mental game and keep his body in shape. His fiancée has opened a wellness studio and fitness will be a joint effort.
