His charisma is still as ubiquitous as before, especially in the wake of the building anticipation for his comeback. Dissipating all rumors, the 2X PBR champion has unveiled the next big agenda of his life.

Jagger Briggs Mauney, officially titled “World’s Favorite Bull Rider” on Instagram, is training to carry forward JB Mauney’s legacy. The toddler is a renowned figure in the community and is believed to be the future of the sport.

JB Mauney’s son pledges allegiance to Cody Teel over his dad

The scion of the Mauney household gave his vote of approval to Cody Teel in the presence of his father. The captivating moment was framed in a video post on the Teton Ridge X page. The caption read: “Is there a bigger bull riding fan than @jaggerbriggsmauneyxv? Check out your favorite cowboy hyping up one of his favorite bull riders, @codylteel, during the @theamerican.tr West regional during the inaugural Mauney Cast”. Jagger Mauney’s patronage of Cody Teel began with a heartfelt sentence when he said, “Cody’s my favorite”. He was hooked on the video of Teel’s bull riding performance at the West Region Finals. When the athlete shot out atop the stomping beast, the little cowboy became amped up almost instantaneously.

Shouting “Go Cody go” at the top of his lungs, Jagger Briggs Mauney cheered for his beloved rodeo hero. In the next moment, he repeatedly began to scream, “Sit up!” at the monitor. Amidst peals of laughter, JB Mauney could not hide his excitement at watching his son’s passion. The cowboy was thoroughly pleased by Cody Teel’s performance. However, the bull riding champion will need an even bigger show of support for what’s ahead.
