From Canada to Clemson: Ajou Ajou’s Journey to Becoming a Tiger

By: Lukas Weese, Special to TigerNet

Ajou Ajou decided to pursue football, despite being a slam dunk and track champion in high school.

While growing up in Brooks, Alberta, where hockey dominates the landscape, Ajou went against the conventional sport, combining his height, speed and athleticism in becoming a wide receiver.

Now, the 20-year-old will be playing in the fall for the Clemson Tigers.

“I always want to be the best,” Ajou said to Postmedia Network back in May 2018. “You better come with it, because I’m coming full throttle.”

Tyler Greenslade first saw Ajou when he was the coach of the Provincial Under-16 team in 2016.
