Carnes (6-1, 205, University of Northern Iowa) is entering his second year as a member of the Indoor Football League (IFL). Carnes joined the Nebraska Danger late in the 2015 season, starting in one game where he threw for five touchdowns and rushed for two touchdowns. Before joining the IFL, Carnes played collegiately at the University of Northern Iowa where he saw action at quarterback, running back, kick returner, and punt returner.

Carnes became involved with this organization at the beginning stages, embracing the opportunity to spread awareness.
"We are excited to have Brion in a Barnstormers uniform this spring," said Coach Brannen. "He is an extremely athletic player, as he showed during his time at UNI. He has a year of experience in the indoor game and I am looking forward to watching him grow as a quarterback. He has a unique skillset that will fit nicely with what we do offensively."
