Former football player Jesse Brown has become an unexpected success story at this year’s National Finals Rodeo. Originally a quarterback at Washington State, Brown’s football career didn’t go as planned, leading him to transfer to Montana State where he discovered his passion for rodeo. Despite initially not taking the sport seriously, Brown is now a five-time qualifier at the NFR and currently sits fourth in the world standings for steer wrestling.
Brown’s success at this year’s NFR includes winning Monday’s round and splitting Wednesday’s Round 7 win with the world leader. Despite his rodeo commitments, Brown still keeps an eye on his former football team, the undefeated Montana State Bobcats, as they make a playoff run.
Reflecting on his journey, Brown acknowledges that while he liked football, he loves rodeoing. His unexpected path from football player to successful rodeo competitor serves as a reminder that life can take surprising twists and turns, ultimately leading to unexpected opportunities and successes. Brown’s story is a testament to the resilience and determination required to excel in a new and challenging endeavor.
