McNeese Student Manager Steals Show During Upset Win ... As March Madness Begins
Published
A member of the McNeese State University basketball team has caught the eyes of sports fans with March Madness underway ... but we aren't talking about an athlete -- but rather their student manager!!
Senior Amir "Aura" Khan has taken the college basketball world by storm this season ... and while he isn't allowed on the bench during tournament games -- he got the team hyped as it took the court against number No. 5-ranked Clemson.
Despite the restriction, he was busy in the stands taking pictures with fans. Even the cheerleaders were in on the craze, rocking socks that featured his mug!!
A two-year member of the team, his stardom took off this season. It has grown so much that he is now inking NIL deals.
Brands like Insomnia Cookies, Buffalo Wild Wings and TickPick all scooped up Khan to their ranks ... in hopes of cashing in on a deep run from the squad.
Khan first took off in February thanks to his walkout, where he rapped "In and Out" by Lud Foe word-for-word.
"I still haven't fully processed it all," he told CBS Sports. "It's definitely been amazing. I appreciate the support from everyone, I'm just trying to focus on what I'm doing for the team."
