Iowa Barnstormers Press Release

DES MOINES – Former Iowa Barnstormers wide receiver Brady Roland has been nominated for the Indoor Football League (IFL) Hall of Fame for 2024, the IFL announced this week.

The IFL Hall of Fame is a celebration of individuals who have excelled in their roles. The Hall of Fame focuses on skill and achievement on the field and the example set off the field. The Hall of Fame also recognizes an individual’s use of the IFL as a platform to enhance their success on and off the field.

Carlisle native and Grand View University alumnus Brady Roland was not only one of the Iowa Barnstormers’ standout receivers, but also established himself as one of the IFL’s most productive receivers during his four-year career. This is his third Hall of Fame induction, as he was in the running for the 2022 and 2023 IFL Hall of Fame selections.

On his first nomination, Roland noted, “There are a lot of great football players in the Hall of Fame, including some former teammates,” Roland said. “It’s a great feeling to even be mentioned for a chance to join those guys.”

Roland was a positive force both off and on the field, appearing in 59 regular season games, recording 279 receptions for 3,483 yards and 78 touchdowns in his four seasons with the Barnstormers. Following his rookie season in 2015, Roland was named Second Team All-IFL before finding a home on First Team All-IFL for the next three seasons. In Roland’s final season in the IFL, he was a major contributor to the offense that led the Iowa Barnstormers to their first-ever championship in 2018.

In his short career in the IFL, Roland proved to be a powerhouse for all his opponents.

Since earning his championship ring and hanging up his glasses, Roland has remained in the Des Moines area and continues to support the Iowa Barnstormers from the sidelines. He and his wife were married in 2019 and have since welcomed a son and daughter, adding to the Barnstormers family.

The Iowa Barnstormers are proud to have Brady Roland as a nominee for the 2024 IFL Hall of Fame. Fans are encouraged to vote for Brady to be inducted into this year’s class.
