Pearson Returns to Barnstormers
October 17, 2022 – Indoor Football League (IFL) – Iowa Barnstormers News Release
DES MOINES – The Iowa Barnstormers have signed veteran defensive back Tyrell Pearson to the 2023 roster, Head Coach Dave Mogensen announced today.
Pearson (5-9, 171, University of South Alabama) returns to the Iowa Barnstormers after a brief stint with the Arizona Rattlers for the 2021 season. While with the Rattlers, Pearson collected 56 tackles, 24 pass breakups, four interceptions, two fumble recoveries, and a forced fumble earning him Second Team All-IFL Honors.
Pearson first joined the Iowa Barnstormers in 2018 and had a standout season finishing with a pass breakup in the end zone on the final play of the 2018 United Bowl, giving the Barnstormers their first ever Championship Title. Pearson returned to the Barnstormrs in 2019 continuing his momentum and tying the league lead with six interceptions earning First Team All-IFL.
“Tyrell has proven to be one of the best defensive backs in the IFL,” said Head Coach Mogensen. “We had hoped to see him here last season, but with the birth of his youngest child that wasn’t able to happen. We expect him to step in and be a team leader on the defensive side of the ball, adding Tyrell in with some of our returning young talent will help take our defense to the next level.”
Pearson will return to Des Moines to enter the 2023 Iowa Barnstormers Training Camp in the Spring.
