Aaron Boadu (born May 13, 1986[1] in Hamburg)[2] is a German American football player.[citation needed]
Boadu, older brother of Marvin Boadu,[3] played basketball for BC Hamburg[4] and at Contra Costa College in the United States. He was recruited by the college's American football coach for his team, which led him to start playing football at the age of 20 and join the team of the California college.[5] After returning to Germany, Boadu initially played football in Hamburg (2008 with the Hamburg Blue Devils)[6] and also briefly played basketball for Bramfelder SV in the Regionalliga[7] alongside his brother Marvin.[8] In 2009, he went to Arizona Western University.[9] In the US state of Arizona, he was briefly incarcerated.[10]
In 2010, he transferred to the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes, and in his first year at the Förde, the 1.99-meter-tall and 126-kilogram defensive player[11] (Defensive end)[12] won the German championship with the Kiel team under head coach Patrick Esume.[13] He played in Kiel until the end of the 2012 season. He served another prison sentence, this time in Germany.[10] In 2015, he returned to the Kiel team[14] and won the EFAF Cup with them in June 2015.[15] In the 2016 season, Boadu set a new Kiel club record with 13 quarterback sacks and was the second-best player in the league statistics that season.[16]
At the beginning of 2019, Boadu was initially reported as a new signing by the Potsdam Royals (also in the GFL),[2] and at the end of July 2019, he made his debut in the colors of the Hildesheim Invaders and won his first game for the Niedersachsen against his former team from Kiel.[17]
