BROOKLYN, NY. — After a thrilling first season in the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams league, the New York Mavericks are gearing up for 2025 with the exciting announcement that Teigan Gray, 2024 Indian National Finals Rodeo (INFR) Bull Riding Champion, has been invited to join the Mavericks’ exclusive training camp this upcoming season. With an impressive record and a drive to compete at the highest levels, Gray will have the chance to prove his skills and potentially secure a spot on the New York Mavericks’ 2025 roster.
 
This move comes on the heels of last year’s successful training camp invitation of Mauricio Moreira, who went on to join the team as a breakout star. During the 2024 season, Moreira led the New York Mavericks in the aggregate score in going 9-for-26 on the season, solidifying himself as the team’s 2024 MVP.  

Gray’s track record and work ethic have made him an ideal fit for the Mavericks, who are known for their relentless pursuit of excellence and commitment to the future of bull riding. This exclusive invite is a chance for Gray to demonstrate his grit, power, and skill as he trains alongside some of the best.
 
“I’m excited to have Teigan Gray join us! This is a big deal for both sides because we get to see a very talented rider in the same training that all team members go through. This will give Teigan a huge opportunity to potentially earn a spot on the team and further their career. There’s opportunity knocking in the bull riding world and getting to bring in new talent and see if they have what it takes to compete at the top level is very beneficial,” said Kody Lostroh, Head Coach of the New York Mavericks and 2009 PBR World Champion.
 
Gray echoes this excitement. He shares: “I have been following the PBR Camping World Team Series since the first season; it’s a good direction for the sport as well as the competitors. I am excited for the chance to rub shoulders with the best and pick their brain about this sport we love. I can’t express enough gratitude towards the INFR and all the opportunities they present for our taking.”

 “The INFR has a history of producing some of the best bull riders in the sport with World Champions like Cody Jesus, Caden Bunch and Dakota Louis, who have all excelled at the PBR level. We look forward to continuing our long relationship with the PBR and especially with the New York Mavericks,” said Michael Vocu, President of the INFR.
 
The New York Mavericks are proud to support rising stars in bull riding, pushing the sport to new heights and welcoming riders who embody the team's core values of strength, resilience, and grit. Fans can look forward to following Gray’s journey throughout training camp as he contends for a spot on one of the most competitive teams in bull riding.
