Episode 19-03: Jess Lockwood

  • Summary

  • Jess Lockwood, the youngest World Champion in Professional Bull Riders history, is back on the show after a devastating 2024 injury that nearly ended his career. A brutal kick from a bull left him with a scar across his neck, a sewn-on ear, and the tip of his tongue reattached—forcing him to miss the National Finals Rodeo. Yet, somehow, he’s already back on bulls, training at John Crimber’s, proving just how tough and determined he is. On The Luke Branquinho Show, Jess opens up about his grueling recovery, the mental and physical battles he’s faced, and what it’s like returning to the PBR Unleash the Beast Series. He also shares how Cody Lambert’s mentorship—dating back to when Cody and Luke were rookie roommates—has shaped his career. Through it all, Jess remains one heck of a competitor, keeping the spirit of fun at the forefront of bull riding. It’s that mindset that helps him keep showing up, working hard, and pushing forward despite the injuries and falls. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about resilience, grit, and the love of rodeoing!
