because you only get that one shot to be the top rookie your first year. To have the group of guys that I had to ride against it wasn’t easy to win it that’s for sure. It was a knife fight the whole time.” STEER ROPER Will Eddleman Hometown: Santa Anna, Texas What does it mean to win Rookie of the Year? Will: “It’s one the few awards that they give in the PRCA that only one person can win. It means a lot to see all of my hard work pay off and get that accomplished. Hopefully this is only the beginning of a great career in the sport of rodeo.” BULL RIDER T Parker Hometown: Winnie, Texas What does it mean to win Rookie of the Year? T: “To make the Finals and win Resistol Rookie of the Year means the world to me. That was my goal that I had set for the beginning of the year. It was a tough year with lots of ups and downs, when I didn’t think I was going to make it happen. I went home and had a couple talks with my family and came back and made it happen.”

TEAM ROPING HEADER Cole Thomas Hometown: Meadville, Miss. What does it mean to win Rookie of the Year? Cole: “ It’s the only thing we can do once in this sport. You can win multiple rodeos more than once, heck you can even win more than one world championship. But you only have one chance to win this award. Winning Rookie of the Year is something I’ve always wanted to do and now I can say I’ve been blessed enough to do it.” TEAM ROPING HEELER Kaden Profili Hometown: Jacksonville, Texas What does it mean to win Rookie of the Year? Kaden: “It means a lot to me if I’m being honest. You only get to be the Rookie of the Year once in your life, so it means a lot to me to see it happen. It took a lot of hard work, a ton of practice, and a lot of miles driving down the road. It’s truly a blessing.” SADDLE BRONC RIDER Ryder Sanford Hometown: Sulphur, La.
