Dylan Grant had been riding since 2018 and professionally since last year.

A 24-year-old bull rider died Thursday after he was thrown off a bull in the second round of an event in Wharton County, Texas.

“The PRCA would like to send its thoughts and prayers to bull rider Dylan Grant’s family, friends and the entire rodeo/bull riding community after Grant passed away after suffering injuries Thursday night during the Wharton County Youth Fair Xtreme Bulls event in Wharton, Texas,” the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) said in a release.

Grant, who started bull riding in 2018 and had been riding professionally for a year, was rushed to a hospital, where he died.

The 24-year-old Laramie, Wyoming, native competed in multiple ProRodeo and Xtreme Bulls events throughout his riding career.

He had won $15,710 in bull riding in his career, including $3,760 this season.

Grant also competed for the University of Wyoming rodeo team in college and won the bull riding title at the Mountain States Circuit Finals Rodeo in 2021.

“What happened to Dylan was deeply upsetting to all of us at the PRCA,” a spokesperson for the organization told Fox News Digital. “Fatal injuries in rodeo are extremely rare, and our focus right now is to offer comfort to Dylan’s family and to everyone in the rodeo community who was affected by this unfortunate incident.

“The PRCA has procedures to review all serious incidents to make sure we are doing everything we can to ensure the safety of our contestants and animals. The outcome of that review may determine that financial fines or expulsion from future competition is necessary. We just don’t have those answers yet.”

Grant’s father, Wade Grant, told ABC News, “He got his neck stepped on. He ran out of the arena and straight to the ambulance with these injuries, but Dylan was double tough.”
