How to Apply

If you are interested in Rodeo at New Mexico State University:
  1. Arrange to visit the campus and meet with one of the coaches if possible.
  2. Bring a video tape or DVD of yourself competing. A highlight tape helps the coach asses your level of competitiveness. You can also email ahead of time to bbagg@nmsu.edu
  3. If you have graduated from high school, are in your last semester of high school, or are a transfer student, apply for admission at New Mexico State University or Dona Ana Community College as soon as possible. We cannot file any official paperwork or award scholarships until you are admitted to the University.
  4. Arrange to meet with faculty in the department that houses your intended major.

NMSU Rodeo does limit active members to 50 members to provide our team members with effective and intentional practice opportunities. All walk-on rodeo athletes are required to meet with the Head Coach prior to attending their first meeting and purchasing their membership card. Safety being a priority, we will offer optimal experiences for those dedicated to the sport of rodeo, while we all promote NMSU Rodeo and achieve National Championships.

You are welcome to submit videos to rodeo@tarleton.edu and contact the Rodeo Office at 254-968-9187 for a potential spot on the team. We would look forward to meeting with you
