Paden Bray Makes it to His First NFR

Paden Bray is an up and coming team roper and at the age of 22, he will be heading to his first career NFR. Bray made just over $52,000 in the regular season and qualified for the NFR in the 11th position.

He currently sits $18,000 behind Joseph Harrison in first place and will be looking to make a run up the leaderboard in Arlington.

Bray missed out on the NFR in his rookie season, finishing in 17th place, which made this year that much sweeter.

“I honestly slept for over 12 hours once I finally made it because I was really relieved to get it done,” Bray said.
