Playing at cornerback, Kwame Aidoo was a cornerstone on a stingy Marauder defense that won four consecutive Yates Cup championships from 2000-2003. A starter for all five of his years in maroon, Aidoo was McMaster's Rookie of the Year after being named an OUA First Team All-Star in 2000. A fierce competitor and shutdown defender, he was named an OUA all-star on three more occasions, and was a CIS All-Canadian in 2002. A quiet leader who let his play speak for him, Kwame was the 2004 co-recipient of the Coaches' Award for perseverance and leadership. He was named a member of McMaster's Team of the Decade for 2000-09.
He graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and helped coach the defensive backs at McMaster prior to attending Teachers College at the University of Windsor.
