PRCA sends condolences to bull rider Dylan Grant’s family

The PRCA would like to send its thoughts and prayers to bull rider Dylan Grant’s family, friends and the entire rodeo/bull riding community after Grant passed away after suffering injuries Thursday night during the Wharton County Youth Fair Xtreme Bulls event in Wharton, Texas. Grant was 24.

Grant sustained an injury in the second round at the Wharton County event after being bucked off by a bull in the arena.

Medics rushed him into an ambulance where they began working to stabilize him. He was then taken by helicopter to Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas, where he passed away. 

Grant first obtained his PRCA permit on May 1, 2018, and then bought his PRCA card on Feb. 14, 2024. He has competed in multiple PRORODEO and Xtreme Bulls events throughout his career. 

This season Grant had $3,760 in earnings and $15,710 in his career.

In 2021, while also competing for the University of Wyoming rodeo team, he won the bull riding title at the Mountain States Circuit Finals Rodeo with 169.5 points on two head. He won Round 3 at the MSCFR in Loveland, Colo., that year with an 86.5-point ride on The Cervi Brothers’ Classic Equine Bad Memory.
