Amir Khan, the McNeese State basketball manager who became a national sensation with his boombox during the NCAA tournament, has rejoined the Cowboys after a short spell at NC State. The 23‑5 team is poised for another March run, and Khan’s return is seen as a boost to the program’s energy.
Khan said he wanted to finish his degree, live close to home, and that many of his credits didn’t transfer to NC State. He also said the spotlight helped raise awareness of student‑manager roles, which he hopes to highlight moving forward.
