AMES, Iowa – Former Iowa State football players Ernst Brun and Cliff Stokes are among 45 United States gridders age 20 and older selected to play on the 2015 U.S. Men's National Team, assembled by USA Football.
The team will compete in the fifth International Federation of American Football (IFAF) World Championship, a seven-nation tournament held July 9-18 in Canton, Ohio.
The U.S. Men's National Team is led by former Boise State and Colorado head football coach Dan Hawkins.
Brun, a native Stone Mountain, Ga., was an honorable mention All-Big 12 pick by the Associated Press in 2012 after catching 26 passes for 330 yards. His six TD grabs tied for the second-best total by a Cyclone tight end in school history.
Brun was named a team co-captain in 2013.
Stokes, a native of Tallahassee, Fla., played two seasons for the Cyclones.
All games will be played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium and available via live stream or ESPN3.
