Meet
West Huggins
PRCA Rodeo Announcer
With nearly two decades behind the microphone and a base in Midland, Texas, West Huggins is well known throughout Texas and trusted by rodeo committees nationwide. His experience spans arenas of every size, bringing a steady, professional presence to rodeos across the United States — from Texas to Alaska.
West officially earned the title of PRCA Pro Rodeo Announcer in 2006 and has announced a wide range of PRCA events, including long-standing events like the Texas Cowboy Reunion, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Posse PRCA Rodeo and Cowtown Rodeo in New Jersey. Also he has been heard at high-profile rodeos such as Cook’s Rodeo Days in Lubbock and the Cactus Jack PRCA Xtreme Bull Riding in Uvalde.
In addition to his PRCA work, West has also been selected to announce major championship events within the United Professional Rodeo Association, including multiple selections to the CINCH United Finals Rodeo, and has been recognized by his peers with 8 Time UPRA Rodeo Announcer of the Year honors.
Committees trust West for more than his voice. He understands rodeo flow, timing, and production, and works seamlessly with stock contractors, judges, secretaries, and event staff to ensure a smooth, professional event from grand entry to the final out. His background in radio and commercial voice work allows him to deliver clear, confident announcements in any setting.
West frequently works within a well-coordinated production environment that includes his wife, Keri, a seasoned rodeo secretary, as well as his twin sons Walker, a PRCA Music Director, and Trevor, who supports rodeo production and media operations. This familiarity with the full scope of rodeo operations allows West to anticipate timing, logistics, and communication needs throughout the performance.
