DES MOINES - The Iowa Barnstormers have signed running back Nasjzae Bryant-Lelei to the 2026 roster, Head Coach Andre Coles announced today.

Bryant-Lelei (5-10, 210, University of Hawaii) joins the Iowa Barnstormers for his rookie season in the Indoor Football League (IFL). Collegiately, Bryant-Lelei began his career at Catawba College in Salisbury, North Carolina. After a standout freshman season, Bryant-Lelei earned Special Teams Player of the Year in 2018. His 2019 season ended early due to an injury with his 2020 season being cut short due to COVID. Following the pandemic, Bryant-Lelei transferred to the University of Hawaii. In three seasons with the Rainbow Warriors, Bryant Lelei appeared in 18 games rushing 83 times for 336 yards and three touchdowns.

"Nasjzae represents what the IFL is all about, he was a Division I running back who is just looking for a chance to show the world that he can play at a high level," said Head Coach Coles. " We are excited to see what we can do."

Bryant-Lelei will enter the Iowa Barnstormers Training Camp in the spring.
