Boston College transfer DL Owen Stoudmire commits to Nebraska
Nebraska has landed a commitment from Boston College defensive tackle Owen Stoudmire, a 6-foot-1, 292lb interior defender with one year of eligibility remaining.
Stoudmire is the fourth defensive line addition the Huskers have made in recent days, joining Iowa Western Community College three-star Andy Burburjia, Pitt transfer Jahsear Whittington and UCLA transfer Anthony Jones.
The soon-to-be sixth-year senior joined Boston College in 2021, redshirting as a freshman. In 2022 and 2023, he played in 19 games, in reserve action, totaling 17 tackles in those two seasons. In 2024, he played in 13 games, starting twice and totaled career highs in tackles, tackles for loss and sacks, recording 30 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.
In 2025, Stoudmire stepped into a consistent starting role but after just three starts, suffered a season-ending injury that cost him the rest of the year. He recorded five tackles prior to the injury.
Stoudmire entered the transfer portal on Jan. 14 and visited Nebraska just one day later. Shortly after his trip to Lincoln, he committed to the Huskers, adding much needed veteran experience, and depth, to the defensive line room.
Stoudmire will be expected to help strengthen Nebraska’ run defense in the A and B gaps while helping the pass rush. He’ll join an interior linemen group that is set to return Riley Van Poppel, Gabe Moore, David Hoffken, Sua Lefotu, Ashton Murphy, Dylan Parrot Tyson Terry and Malcolm Simpson. The aforementioned Burburjia and Whittington will factor into the interior defensive line rotation as well. The Huskers remain in pursuit of 2026 Monroe (La.) Ouchita Parish four-star defensive lineman Dylan Berymon, who officially visited last weekend. The 6-foot-1.5, 330 pound senior is considering Kentucky and Oklahoma State as well, expected to commit and sign in February.
Nebraska has seen two interior defensive linemen depart the program this offseason. Elijah Jeudy exhausted his eligibility while Jaylen George transferred to Tulsa. Dylan Parrott also briefly entered the transfer portal, but has since pulled his name out of the portal.

Man who allegedly shot at Boston Police officers arrested after foot chase in Dorchester
A 20-year-old Boston man is facing a series of charges after prosecutors say he shot at Boston Police officers during an attempted stop in Dorchester before leading them on a foot chase through neighborhood backyards.
Rasiel Carbuccia was arraigned in Dorchester District Court Thursday on a list of charges, including assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying without a license and possession of a large capacity firearm, stemming from the Wednesday night incident near Devon and Laredo streets.
Opened fire with ghost gun, prosecutors say
According to prosecutors, Boston Police officers attempted to stop Carbuccia when he pulled out a gun and began shooting, striking a Boston police cruiser before fleeing the scene.
Investigators said Carbuccia ran through backyards and hopped fences before he was taken into custody. Officers did not fire their weapons during the encounter.
Prosecutors said investigators later recovered the firearm along the path where Carbuccia had been running.
“It was determined that the firearm was a ghost gun, and it did not possess a serial number,” Suffolk County prosecutor Jacqueline Martinelli said in court.
Union says “everyone should be outraged”
Larry Calderone, president of the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association, said the shooting is part of what he believes is a troubling trend of violence this summer and renewed his call for more officers on Boston streets.
“Everybody should be outraged. Bullets flying in the city’s streets at uniformed police officers. How can we possibly convince the general public that they’re safe to walk around their own neighborhoods?” Calderone said.
“We have teenagers pulling firearms and stealing mopeds from others in broad daylight. We have shots being fired at police officers in uniform, officers being attacked, people being shot daily that we can’t solve the crimes,” he added.
No one was injured in the shooting, but Calderone said the outcome could have been much worse.
“Thank goodness, neither officer or a pedestrian, an innocent child or somebody in the middle of the evening did not get killed last night. Just as thankful, at least they caught him. They recovered the weapon,” he said.
After the arraignment, Carbuccia’s attorney declined to discuss the case in detail but indicated mental health issues could become part of the proceedings.
“Ultimately as you guys know this is a process that has to play out and he’s presumed innocent and there’s going to be a number of things that are going to come out in respect to mental health and potentially the investigation, I don’t really have much more to say beyond that,” attorney Bob White told reporters.
According to prosecutors, Carbuccia had two open assault cases and an active warrant at the time of his arrest.
He’s being held in jail without bail and is scheduled to return to court later this month for a dangerousness hearing.

4 Red Sox Trade Targets to Solidify Boston’s Push for a Playoff Spot
The Boston Red Sox will return to action on Friday to kick off the second half of the 2026 Major League Baseball season with a doubleheader against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The last few weeks have been incredible for Boston and have really gotten the organization right back into the thick of the playoff race. Beforehand, the Red Sox looked like one of the worst teams in baseball. Now, Boston is 46-48 and has won 14 of its last 16 games. It’s why you play the games. The MLB season is long and full of ups and downs. Sure, the first few months of the season were full of many down moments for the Red Sox, but they flipped a switch, got hot, and now are right back in the mix.
Now, there are just over two weeks to go until the 2026 trade deadline and Boston should be looking to add. But who should the Red Sox be targeting? Here are four intriguing options for Craig Breslow and the Red Sox’s front office to target.
Gleyber Torres — Detroit Tigers
The former longtime New York Yankee is a member of the Detroit Tigers and was slashing .280/.395/.395 with a .790 OPS, four homers and 18 RBIs before the All-Star break. Torres is on the Injured List, but has already begun a rehab assignment. Torres has the type of right-handed pop Boston’s lineup needs. Plus, he’s just 29 years old.
Luis Arráez — San Francisco Giants
Luis Arráez isn’t a right-handed bat and doesn’t have much power, but this is a guy with three batting titles under his belt and has a shot at another one. He’s batting .330 right now and would go a long way for Boston by getting on base towards the top of the lineup.
James Wood — Washington Nationals
This would be a pipe dream type of move. Wood is under team control for four more seasons and is just 23 years old, and yet he’s already a two-time All-Star. He blasted 31 homers last year and already has 28 this season in 97 games played. If the Red Sox could get a bat like his, they’d be all set. But it would cost quite a bit to pry him from Washington.
Isaac Paredes — Houston Astros
There are few players who were connected to Boston more this past offseason than Isaac Paredes. The Astros don’t look like a team that is going to sell, but Paredes is still worth a call. Houston traded Lance McCullers Jr. to the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday in a salary dump.
