Hudson Bolton Making Waves in the PBR

At just 19 years old, Hudson Bolton is provind he’s a force to be reckoned with in the sport of bull riding.

At just 19 years old, Tennessee cowboy Hudson Bolton is quickly making a name for himself in the world of professional bull riding. His standout performance in the PBR Elimination Rounds saw him post impressive scores with 88 points in Round 1, 88.75 in Round 2, and 86.5 in Round 4.

Now ranked No. 15, Bolton has officially punched his ticket to compete inside AT&T Stadium.

While winning a world title is always in the back of his mind, Bolton is focused on a different accomplishment, the PBR Rookie of the Year title. Currently sitting at the top of the rookie standings, he is chasing a goal he has had since day one.

“That’s been the goal since I started in the PBR my first year,” Bolton said. “You only get one shot at being Rookie of the Year. I mean, you can win a world title your whole career, but to be Rookie of the Year, you only get one chance at that, and that’s what I really want.”
