Daniel Kwamou (born April 27, 2002) is a Canadian professional football linebacker for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL).

University career

Kwamou played U Sports football for the UBC Thunderbirds from 2018 to 2022.[1][2] He played in 25 regular season games where he recorded 61 solo tackles, 42 assisted tackles, 2.5 sacks, and one interception.[1]

Professional career

Kwamou was drafted in the fifth round, 44th overall, in the 2022 CFL Draft by the Toronto Argonauts and signed with the team on May 10, 2022.[3] However, he was released at the end of training camp and returned to UBC to complete his U Sports eligibility. He re-signed with the Argonauts at the end of the 2022 season on December 6, 2022.[4]

Following training camp in 2023, Kwamou began the season on the practice roster, but made his professional debut on July 3, 2023, against the BC Lions.[5] For the season, he played in nine regular season games where he recorded eight special teams tackles.[6] In the 2024 season, Kwamou was on the injured list for the entire season, but when he became healthy, he was a scratch for the Argonauts' victory in the 111th Grey Cup championship over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[6][7]
