Barnstormers Announce Final Roster

Barnstormers Introduce 2026 Roster 

 

DES MOINES – The Iowa Barnstormers have announced their final 25-man roster for the 2026 Indoor Football League season as Head Coach Andre Coles takes the reins. 

 

The upcoming season marks a new era of Barnstormers football as Head Coach Andre Coles leads the team for the first time, excited for the opportunity ahead.  

 

“Opportunity is all you can ask to start the season,” said Coles. “We also have some exciting players who are ready to make a name for themselves.” 

 

After a short 14-day training camp, 25 players have earned their goggles and are ready to make their mark. 

 

“This is the group that earned the right to wear the goggles,” said Coach Coles. “We told this group that everything this season must be earned, and they did just that in order to make the team. They practiced hard, dialed in on meetings, and prepared themselves to the best of their abilities to be ready for week one. Camp was very competitive and these 25 men earned their spots.” 

 

The 2026 roster features a blend of returning players and new talent. Five players return  from last season's team, bringing experience and a renewed determination heading into the 2026 season. Veteran wide receiver Raheem Harvey returns alongside fellow receiver Demonte Martin. Jarid Johnson and Tyler Tate return to anchor the defensive line while Tyler Castaneda is back to strengthen the offensive line. 

 

“The returning Barnstormers really stepped-up during training camp,” said Coles. “These players bought in to changes we wanted to make, not only culturally, but also schematically, and put full effort into wanting to be part of a team that gets back to winning. These men could have easily held onto the past and been resistant to change. They deserve credit for adjusting.”

 

Veteran offensive lineman Tyrone Chambers also rejoins the Barnstormers after originally joining the team in 2024 before spending the 2025 season with the Quad City Steamwheelers. 

 

At quarterback, Harry Roubidoux  and Ivan Corbin will lead the offense as the Barnstormers begin the 2026 campaign. 

 

"My message to all Barnstormers fans would be to support this team with everything that you have,” said Coach Coles. “Without our fans and the community, we have nothing, and your support means everything to the organization, players, and coaches. We need you guys and your support.” 

 

The full 25-man roster is available below.  

 

The Iowa Barnstormers will open the 2026 season on the road as they travel to face the Quad City Steamwheelers on Saturday, March 21. Kickoff is set for 5:00PM.
