Amir Khan, the student manager who gained viral fame during the 2025 NCAA tournament, is reuniting with coach Will Wade at LSU. Khan, nicknamed 'Aura,' secured over six figures in NIL deals after his enthusiastic game-day interactions with Wade's McNeese team captured national attention.

Khan's popularity surged with over 100,000 Instagram followers and partnerships with brands like Buffalo Wild Wings. He followed Wade to NC State before returning to McNeese for the 2025-26 season. His move to LSU marks his third stint working with Wade.

Wade, who was previously fired from LSU due to a recruiting scandal, is rebuilding the Tigers' roster. While only four players are currently listed on the team's website, potential additions include international prospects and former Big East standout RJ Luis Jr. Khan's return provides a familiar, popular face for the LSU program.
