Iowa Barnstormers QB Daquan Neal has been named the 2019 IFL Most Valuable Player. 
In his first season at quarterback for the Barnstormers, Neal (6'2,215, Elizabeth City State) led the IFL in passing touchdowns and helped the Iowa Barnstormers advance to the United Conference Championship for a third consecutive season.

His 59 touchdown passes were the most in the IFL while his 2,642 passing yards were second most.
