Ex-Florida Atlantic PG Nick Boyd transfers to San Diego State
Former Florida Atlantic point guard Nick Boyd has transferred to San Diego State, the latter school announced Tuesday.
Boyd has two seasons of eligibility remaining and was a member of the FAU team that lost to the Aztecs in the memorable 2023 Final Four.
“Nick is everything you want in a player,” San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher said. “He prioritizes winning first and foremost. He is an elite point guard as both a scorer and playmaker. His ability to score at all three levels, 3-point shot, midrange and at the rim make him very hard to defend.”
Boyd played in 88 games and made 51 starts in three seasons for the Owls. He averaged 8.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists and made 126 3-point baskets.
Last season, Boyd averaged 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 27 games (14 starts). He knocked down 42 3-pointers.
Boyd made a career-best 68 3-pointers and shot 40 percent from behind the arc in 2022-23, when FAU posted a school-best 35-4 record. The Owls were on the verge of reaching the national title game but San Diego State’s Lamont Butler made a game-ending shot to end that dream and push the Aztecs into the championship game.
Ironically, Butler just transferred from San Diego State to Kentucky.
Boyd made the winning layup with 2.5 seconds remaining in FAU’s 66-65 victory over Memphis in the first round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament. That marked the Owls’ first-ever NCAA win.

A Roving Seafood Pop-Up Drops Anchor in Pacific Beach
A new restaurant and seafood market operated and stocked by local fishermen has docked just steps from the sand in Pacific Beach. Nico’s Fish Market is the permanent location of a roving outfit that’s been popping up around town since 2022, including regular weekend residencies at Oceanside’s South O Brewing and the Shanty in Cardiff.
The Emerald Street space is the fruition of a dream that founder Nico Gibbons has held since he was a teenager. At 18, the San Diego native started as a bus boy at El Pescador Fish Market, working at the 50-year-old La Jolla institution even while attending college at UCLA and eventually becoming a fishmonger. Through family connections, Gibbons spent several months living in Mexico City, training in the kitchen with chef Federico Rigoletti (Contramar) while spending nights cutting fish in the city’s main seafood market. After returning to San Diego, he learned the wholesale side of the business at Hawaiian Fresh Seafood, where he graded tuna for the poke experts.
Photos of the local fishermen who fuel the market and restaurant, including Gibbons himself, are displayed next to the retail seafood counter, where sashimi plates and containers of poke sit on ice next to filets of fresh fish, from bluefin tuna to local halibut and swordfish.
Gibbons, who lives in Pacific Beach, worked with the owner of a neighborhood taco shop he used to frequent to take over its lease with help from Dino De Salvio of Next Wave Commercial.
The menu includes poke bowls plus tacos, burritos, sandwiches, and plates featuring the day’s fresh catch always cut to order. Gibbons tells Eater that they’ll also be running specials featuring seasonal local seafood and are working to secure a beer and wine license.
