Iowa Barnstormers News Release


DES MOINES - Iowa Barnstormers Head Coach and Director of Football Operations John Gregory announced this morning that the team has reached agreement with WR Tommy Ellingworth for the 2011 season. Ellingworth is the first player signed by the Barnstormers this off-season and will be among 35 players invited to training camp this February.

The 2011 season will be Ellingworth's third with the Barnstormers. After spending most of the 2009 season on Iowa's practice squad, the 5-11, 185lb Ellingworth appeared in 5 games for Iowa in 2010. During that time, he was able to record 23 receptions for 277 yards and 7 touchdowns. He was also a key member of the Barnstormers special teams unit. Unfortunately his season was cut short as he suffered a foot injury in July. The native of Red Falls, MN was a standout at Augustana College where in four seasons he accumulated 211 receptions for 2,398 yards.

The free-agency signing period for the Arena Football League is underway. Expect more announcements from Coach Gregory and the Barnstormers in the coming days.
