Iowa Barnstormers News Release
DES MOINES - The Iowa Barnstormers have signed defensive back Tyrell Pearson to the 2022 roster, Head Coach 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 Barnstormers in 2019 continuing his momentum and tying the league lead with six interceptions earning First Team All-IFL.
"When Tyrell became available we instantly reached out to attempt to bring him back," said Coach Mogensen. "He was an intricate part of the 2018 championship squad, is one of the best DBs in the league, and was beloved during his time here in Iowa. Adding him with some of the young talent we have on board really solidifies our defensive backfield. I can't be more excited to be bringing him back here for 2022."
