NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Carolina Cowboys added three riders to their roster Wednesday night in Nashville, Tennessee at the 2024 PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams New Rider Draft. Under the leadership of General Manager Austin Dillon and Head Coach Jerome Davis, the Cowboys welcomed Ethan Winckler (Winnie, Texas), Murilo Henrique de Oliveira (Pereira Barreto, Brazil) and Braden Richardson (Jasper, Texas).

“It’s nerve-wracking, but I’m having fun now,” Winckler said after being selected with the No. 5 overall pick in the opening round of the draft. “It’s crazy to be in the locker room with your mentors but I’m ready to get at it.”

“He has a sports background,” General Manager Dillon added. “He has the right mindset. We want guys who can be gritty and get it done.”

After first selecting Winckler with the No. 5 overall pick in Round 1, the team chose Oliviera with the No. 14 overall pick in Round 2 and Richardson with the No. 20 overall pick in Round 2.
