McMaster University Athletics

A powerful running back, Kojo Aidoo burst onto the scene in 1998 and was named the CIS Rookie of the Year. He proceeded to re-write the OUA record book, setting new marks for rushing and scoring over his varsity career. The 2000 season saw Aidoo lead McMaster to it’s first-ever Yates Cup OUA championship. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the OUA and the MVP of the championship game. Along with being named a first-team All-Canadian, Aidoo was named recipient of the Hec Crighton award as the outstanding player in Canada, and was presented with the Howard Mackie Award as the outstanding Male Athlete in Canadian Interuniversity Sport. In 2001 Aidoo captured the Ivor Wynne Award as McMaster’s Male Athlete of the Year.

Drafted into the Canadian Football League by Edmonton, he played with the Eskimos, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and Toronto Argos.
