Benjamin Trace Pendragon Jr.: True-Blue Cowboy Bubba
By Vincent L. Newkirk Johnson II

Saddle up for an unforgettable Texas-sized story of faith, football, boxing, brotherhood, and love in Benjamin Trace Pendragon Jr.: True-Blue Cowboy Bubba, a heart-stirring, cinematic journey through the life of one of America's most inspirational modern legends.

Born on October 29th, 1992, in Southlake, Texas, Benjamin Bubba Trace Pendragon Jr. was destined for greatness. From the moment his godfather, Country Music Star Trace Adkins, gifted him his first pair of Pendragon Blue boxing gloves on Christmas Day, 1998, young Bubba learned that true strength comes from discipline, faith, and love. What began as playful sparring in a barn became the foundation of a legendary life built on grit, grace, and the Pendragon Creed - Faith above fear. Family above fame. Honor above all.

As he grew, so did his legend. By age eight, Benjamin was undefeated in the ring - launching a jaw-dropping 276-0 amateur boxing record that made him a prodigy and a peacemaker. But his greatest fight wasn't for trophies - it was for unity. As a linebacker and captain of the nationally-ranked Southlake Prep Cowboys, Bubba transformed his high school into a brotherhood of faith and discipline. When fights broke out among teammates, he didn't punish them - he made them put on the gloves. Three rounds later, every disagreement ended with respect and a handshake. That's how The Peacemaker of Southlake was born.

Through championship seasons, leadership challenges, and moral trials, Benjamin embodied the Cowboy Code - blending Christian humility with unmatched toughness. He led his team to four consecutive Texas State Championships, maintaining a perfect 60-0 record, while balancing honor in academics, leadership, and life. Alongside him was his childhood sweetheart, Jillian Lauriniatis, the fiery cheer captain who literally knocked him off his feet in their first sparring match - and later became the Queen of the Cowboy's Heart. Their love story became legendary, proof that even champions fall - and rise again - through love.

By age 18, Benjamin inherited his family's multi-billion-dollar legacy and built Pendragon Park - a 350,000-square-foot Texas-sized man cave, boxing gym, and leadership academy dedicated to faith, fitness, and family. As President & CEO of Pendragon Enterprises, he turned his passion into purpose, launching Cowboys & Country Network and Pendragon Promotions, where every fight was more than a sport - it was a sermon.

Now, at 33 years old, Benjamin stands as husband, father, mentor, and man of God. Inside his legendary ranch gym, surrounded by his wife Jillian, their five adopted sons, and the family that shaped him, Bubba retells his story - not as a champion, but as a believer. His life reminds us that courage wears many hats: a cowboy hat, a football helmet, and a pair of boxing gloves - all guided by prayer.

Benjamin Trace Pendragon Jr.: True-Blue Cowboy Bubba is an all-American epic - a modern parable that blends sports, country soul, and Christian virtue into a single anthem of perseverance. It's for fathers and sons, coaches and captains, dreamers and doers, cowboys and believers who still believe that leadership begins with humility, and victory begins with faith.

With powerful storytelling, vivid Texas imagery, and cinematic emotion, author Vincent L. Newkirk Johnson II captures the heart of a man who became more than a champion - he became a creed.

Faith above fear. Family above fame. Honor above all.
That's not just the Pendragon way - it's the Cowboy way.
