Beyond February: Osayi Iginuan
By: Dave Morrissey
Osayi Iginuan was an outstanding two-way high school football player at St. Thomas More in Hamilton. As a rookie with the Golden Hawks in 2015, he made the dress roster immediately and contributed significantly on special teams.Â
An incredible physical specimen, Osayi was a punishing runner during his time with the Golden Hawks. He had a key, long run in the 2016 Yates Cup victory over Western.Â
During his time at Laurier, he amassed almost 1,000 yards rushing and scored 13 touchdowns. He was a consummate team player who put team goals ahead of personal ones.Â
Upon graduating, he worked with adults and children living in shelters in New York City and Hamilton. Guided by a strong sense of "giving back" and a desire to improve his hometown, he serves the public as a police officer.
