Khalif Wyatt (born June 10, 1991) is an American professional basketball player for Hapoel Holon of the Israeli Basketball Premier League. He was the Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year as a senior in 2012–13 after leading the Owls to the Round of 32 in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Wyatt led Temple in scoring in his final season with a 20.5 points per game average.
Wyatt attended Norristown High School in Norristown, Pennsylvania from 2005–06 to 2008–09. In his junior season he averaged 18.0 points while guiding them to a 33–2 record. Norristown lost the state championship game to powerhouse Chester High School, which also featured future Temple teammate Rahlir Jefferson. The next year, Wyatt's senior season, he averaged 20 points, four rebounds and four assists while leading Norristown to the PIAA Class AAAA District championship. He earned Second Team All-State accolades for the second year in a row as well.
Wyatt played in 10 games during his freshman campaign in 2009–10 in which Temple won both the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10) regular season and conference tournament titles. In Wyatt's sophomore season, he averaged 10.1 points and 1.3 steals per game and was named the A-10's Sixth Man of the Year. In 2011–12, his junior season, the Temple Owls won the A-10 regular season title for the second time in three years. Wyatt was second on the team in scoring with a 17.1 points per game average that also ranked fourth in the conference. Despite the success, the Owls entered the 2012 NCAA Tournament as a 5-seed but were upset in the Round of 64 by 12-seed South Florida. Wyatt earned Second Team All-Conference honors, however.
