DES MOINES – The Iowa Barnstormers have signed defensive lineman Tony Jones to the 2020 roster, Head Coach Ameer Ismail announced today.

Jones (6-2, 235, Texas Tech University) joins the Iowa Barnstormers for his rookie season in the Indoor Football League (IFL). Collegiately, Jones began his career at Butler Community College before transferring to Texas Tech University. In two seasons with the Red Raiders Jones appeared in 24 games, at both linebacker and defensive lineman, where he collected 77 total tackles, 14 tackles for loss, eight sacks, one interception, and three fumble recoveries.
