Tucker Allen finished just shy of the National Finals Rodeo in 2023. This season, he made sure it didn’t happen again and his first qualification to the Thomas & Mack.
With $93,437 in regular season earnings and a few big wins to his name, Tucker is the No. 13 ranked steer wrestler in the PRCA World Standings. Although this is his first NFR qualification, Allen has thrown steers in the Thomas and Mack before as the extra and he is hoping that helps him out come December.

In Super Series 4 of the biggest Texas Swing rodeo, Allen split Round 1 with a 4.4 to get off on the right start. He placed in the remaining two rounds to earn his way to the Semifinals. A 5.2 in the Semifinals made him the No. 3 man to advance to the Finals. In the Championship Shootout, his 9.9 was fast enough to be second and he cashed in big to get the year started.
Reno Rodeo, $16,580
Allen’s Summer Run got started just how one would want. A win in Round 2 with a time of 4.1 would help him get to the Finals. There, he was a 4.7 to finish fourth in the Go-Round however, when combined with his first two times, Allen split the Reno Rodeo win with the No. 1 cowboy in the World, Dalton Massey.
West of the Pecos, $4,278
The momentum from Reno Rodeo carried Allen through another win back in Texas. That next weekend, he would play the Average game better than the rest yet again. A 4.9 in Round 1 and a 4.5 in Round 2 made him the No. 1 steer wrestler and earned him another trip to the pay window.
