Aaron Boadu (born May 13, 1986, in Hamburg) is a German athlete specializing in American football.
Career
Boadu, the elder sibling of Marvin Boadu,[1] initially played basketball for BC Hamburg[2] and also competed at Contra Costa College in the United States. It was there that the college's American football coach recruited him, leading Boadu to start playing football at age 20 and join the college’s team.[3] After returning to Germany, he resumed playing football in Hamburg, joining the Hamburg Blue Devils in 2008,[4] while also briefly playing basketball alongside his brother for Bramfelder SV in the Regionalliga.[5] In 2009, he enrolled at Arizona Western University.[6] During this period, he experienced a brief incarceration in Arizona.[7]
The following year, Boadu transferred to the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes, where he played as a defensive end standing 1.99 m tall and weighing 126 kg.[8][9] Under coach Patrick Esume, he contributed to securing the German championship.[10] Boadu remained with Kiel through the conclusion of the 2012 season and served another prison term in Germany during this timeframe.[7] He returned to Kiel in 2015 and helped the team capture the EFAF Cup that June.[11] In the subsequent season of 2016, Boadu established a club record by achieving thirteen quarterback sacks, ranking him second in league-wide statistics.[12]
At the start of 2019, reports indicated Boadu had signed with the Potsdam Royals competing in the GFL,[13] but by July he had debuted for the Hildesheim Invaders, securing a victory against his former team from Kiel.[14]
