(Des Moines) The Iowa Barnstormers have signed defensive back Brendan Holmes to the 2022 roster, Head Coach Dave Mogensen announced today.
Holmes (5-10, 195, Simpson College) joins the Iowa Barnstormers for his first season. An Atlantic, Iowa native, Holmes was a multi-sport athlete in high school before heading to college for football. Holmes spent four years at Simpson College, appearing in 40 games and recording 369 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, 15 interceptions, and 14 pass breakups during his time with the Storm. Holmes also racked up numerous accolades, including All-Conference First Team Honors in 2017 and 2018, D3Football.com All-West Region 3rd Team in 2017 and 2018, and a three-year letter-winner (2016-2018).
Last season, Holmes got a taste of the Indoor Football League (IFL), spending two games with the Duke City Gladiators.
“Brendan had an amazing college career locally with a long list of accolades,” said Head Coach Mogensen. “He has some great traits as a DB which will help him find success with us in 2022.”
