The Return of Amir Khan: How McNeese’s Hype Man is Poised to Shake Up March Madness

In last season’s NCAA Tournament, Amir Khan became a viral star.

Commonly referred to as “Aura”, he served as McNeese basketball’s student manager, and more importantly, hype man.

He went viral Feb. 2025 thanks to a video of him rapping while wearing a boombox around his neck as he led the Cowboys out of the locker room. It became a tradition and he’d often be spotted with jewelry and other notable accessories. He even received sponsorship deals.

“(The aura) really just comes from all these players,” Khan told The Oklahoman ahead of McNeese’s first round game against Vanderbilt in Oklahoma City. “I’m just holding the speaker, walking out with them, and it comes from their excitement, their hype, and what they do on the court. If we weren’t three-peat Southland champions, I don’t think all of this would’ve happened.”
