Iowa Barnstormers News Release


DES MOINES - The Iowa Barnstormers have signed defensive back Keith Lewis to the 2022 roster, Head Coach Dave Mogensen announced today.

Lewis (6-1, 205, University of Virginia-Lynchburg) joins the Iowa Barnstormers at cornerback for his first season with the team. Collegiately, Lewis attended the University of Virginia at Lynchburg where he played for two years. During his time with the Hornets, Lewis had 11 career interceptions, five of which were returned for touchdowns, with 29 pass deflections and 3 fumble recoveries. He was the first VUL player to ever be invited to play in the Medal of Honor All Star Game.

Following his collegiate career, Lewis got a taste of the NFL earning his place on the pre-season rosters of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Jets, San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Detroit Lions. In the midst of chasing his NFL dream, Lewis also earned his place in the CFL spending brief stints with both the Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Lewis also has indoor experience on his resume, having spent the 2018 season with the Carolina Cobras of the NAL where he earned a championship title and being a member of the Quad City Steamwheelers during the 2019 season.

"Keith is a veteran defensive back who has played the game at the NFL level and also has an indoor championship under his belt," said Head Coach Mogensen. "He is an elite athlete who also brings tremendous knowledge to our defensive secondary. He will be a great asset to Coach Hampton and the younger defensive players on the defensive squad."

Lewis will join the Barnstormers 2022 Training Camp in the spring.
