PRCA PICK-UP MAN

Anthony Lucia

From Weatherford, Texas, Anthony Lucia grew up traveling and working alongside his dad, ProRodeo Hall of Famer Tommy Lucia. Since Anthony was around rodeos at a very young age, he picked up trick roping when he was nine years old, and soon after he learned to team rope. Because of his fascination with team roping, he would wait around during Slack and ask every contestant if they needed their steer shoved. He mentioned in an interview, “I would just hang out there, and yeah I’d be covered in cow crap, but I got to push their steers and got to feel like I was a part of their team.”

His dedication paid off. Anthony was nominated into the top five of the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) Specialty Act of the Year 2011–2013 and performed at the WNFR (Wrangler National Finals Rodeo) 2010–2013. While winning such honors, Anthony also continued working on his announcing skills, working amateur rodeos and earning his PRCA announcer’s card in 2011.

Because of his previous team roping competition experience, Anthony has an insight into understanding what competitors in these events go through to prepare for the competition and what it takes to be on the leaderboard. Most recently, Lucia was named 2025 PRCA Announcer of the Year, making it his third consecutive year with the title.
