Khan first gained attention during McNeese’s 2023 season before following Wade to NC State. He returned to McNeese in 2025, where his popularity skyrocketed during the Cowboys’ run to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. His energetic pregame entrances and contagious personality turned him into a national fan favorite, making him one of the most recognizable student managers in college basketball.
