Viral student manager Amir Khan transfers back to McNeese - ESPN

Amir «Aura» Khan, the McNeese student manager who went viral for leading the team onto the court during its men's NCAA tournament run last season while carrying a boom box, has entered the portal. He recently transferred back home after a brief stay at NC State.

«I would leave 'the portal' to the players,» Khan told ESPN this week. «I know that's the term that's being used. I would say I just transferred as a regular student.»

Because of Khan, McNeese's walk to the court during the NCAA tournament became one of the most notable staples of the postseason, with Khan rapping the lyrics to King Von and Prince Dre's «Back Again» with McNeese players, all while wearing a giant boom box around his neck. Khan was even featured in «One Shining Moment» at the end of the tournament.

Proof of his star power? He racked up more than 20 NIL deals, including one from Buffalo Wild Wings that included a new boom box, during the NCAA tournament. The deals reportedly tallied more than $100,000.
