UTSA's Cyber-Security CB with All-Academic Honors and Two-Way Versatility
Alpha Khan is a 6-0, 165 lbs R-Jr. cornerback for UTSA who distinguishes himself as a member of the 2024-25 American Conference All-Academic Team while balancing a cyber security major with football. Though he appeared in just eight games in 2024 primarily on special teams, his differentiator is his rare two-way capability as both a CB and WR who also returns kicks, offering roster flexibility beyond standard defensive stats [5][9]. His intensity is backed by a high school senior campaign earning all-district honors and a standout Houston Christian senior year with 3 interceptions and 6 pass breakups [5][7]. While his UTSA tackle numbers are low (1 solo, 1 assist) due to special teams focus, his 29.2 PPG context suggests he plays on a high-output offense [1]. He is an ideal fit for teams needing a smart, versatile defensive back who can contribute immediately on special teams and potentially as a slot receiver, provided they value academic discipline and positional flexibility over pure volume tackling stats.
