Braeden Davis Accused Of Resisting Arrest After Frat House Altercation

Penn State wrestler Braeden Davis was accused of resisting arrest, evading arrest or detention on foot, criminal trespass, consumption of liquor or malt or brewed beverages, and public drunkenness. The accusations add up to three misdemeanor and two summary offenses.

According to a criminal complaint, Davis and a friend were seen leaving the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house at 1:35 a.m. on March 29 — the week after NCAA Championships — after police received reports of two males trespassing on the property. When police arrived, Davis and the friend were arguing with a Standing Stone security employee, hired as security for the house.

Police heard the security guard ask Davis and the friend to leave, and the two had been asked to leave twice beforehand, according to the affidavit. Before identifying Davis or the friend, police said they could identify the smell of alcohol on Davis’ breath.

While talking with the officer on the scene, Davis asked if he could leave, and the officer said he could not until he had been identified, per the affidavit. Davis then moved his friend in front of the officer, which the officer saw as an attempt to flee.

Police grabbed Davis’ sweatshirt, and Davis attempted to flee, tearing his sweatshirt, per the criminal complaint. Police caught Davis within 10 yards, identifying themselves as police and ordering him to stop resisting. After a struggle, Davis was subdued by police. Police noted that after the struggle, Davis broke the officer’s wristwatch and radio earpiece, and ripped the body camera out of the officer’s vest.

After police took Davis to the station, he was identified as 20 years old and transported to Mount Nittany Medical Center for an alcohol overdose, according to the affidavit. Police later found Davis’ BAC was .225% at the time of his arrest.

“We are aware of the charges against Braedan Davis,” a Penn State Athletics spokesperson said in a statement. “These alleged actions do not reflect the values and standards of our program and will be addressed. We will not comment any further as this is an ongoing legal matter.”

Davis ended the 2024-25 wrestling season with a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. The freshman earned his first All-American distinction.

Olivia Dunne Reveals Adorable Paul Skenes Coincidence: ‘Invisible Strings Are Real’

Olivia Dunne is convinced fate has been on her side all along. The former LSU gymnast and content creator shared an adorable TikTok with fans this week, recounting a coincidence that left her speechless.

Olivia Dunne is convinced fate has been on her side all along. The former LSU gymnast and content creator shared an adorable TikTok with fans this week, recounting a coincidence that left her speechless.

“Invisible strings are real,” the 22-year-old began. “So right now I’m in Jersey, and my mom is moving stuff out of my house in Louisiana for me. And as we know, I was in college for five years, I have a lot of stuff in my house, and then my mom finds this.”

She included a screenshot of a ticket to a baseball game she attended at LSU in Feb. 2021, more than two years before she and her boyfriend, MLB star Paul Skenes, began dating.

“It’s a ticket to the LSU versus Air Force baseball game, and Paul was on Air Force’s team, and that was my first college baseball game ever. And I didn’t know him. That is crazy,” she continued. “I always knew he played LSU, but I never thought I was at the game… I don’t know, it was meant to be.”

The sweet story ties back to the couple’s college roots. Dunne, who retired from NCAA athletics this year, helped lead the Tigers to their first NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championship title in 2024. She met Skenes through mutual friends on campus in 2023.

The Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, who was drafted first overall in the 2023 MLB Draft and later named 2024 NL Rookie of the Year, quickly won her over. “Our first and second date, I was like, Oh, I really like him,” she recalled in a GQ article they were featured in together.

The pair was first romantically linked when the three-time SI Swimsuit model wore the 23-year-old’s jersey to the College World Series in June 2023, sparking relationship rumors online.

Their love story has only grown from there. Dunne frequently gushes over her boyfriend’s support, telling us earlier this year, “My boyfriend is probably one of the most confident people I know, and supportive. It helps me be confident. It’s just a very good dynamic that benefits me as well.”

Beyond their relationship, both athletes have continued to dominate in their respective fields. Dunne landed a coveted SI Swimsuit annual issue cover after her 2025 photo shoot with Ben Watts in Bermuda, cementing her status as a cultural force in sports and media.

“This is my third time in the issue, and I feel like my confidence over the years has grown so much from my first shoot,” the New Jersey native said. “It’s so special to be back for year three.”

The Atlanta Gladiators announced Tuesday that the ECHL ice hockey club has signed forward Isak Walther for the 2025-26 season.

Walther, a native of Södertälje, Sweden, was selected by the Nashville Predators in the 6th round (179th overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft. The 23-year-old forward joins the Gladiators after four seasons playing NCAA Division I hockey at the University of Vermont, where he scored 23 goals and 33 assists for 56 points in 128 career games with the Catamounts.

The 6-foot-4, 205-pound forward scored 6 goals and 11 assists for 17 points in 33 games with the University of Vermont last season and is now entering his first season of professional hockey.

“Isak is a big body coming off a successful college career at Vermont,” Gladiators director of hockey operations and head coach Matt Ginn said. “He has very good hands and a good shot. Isak uses his size and strength effectively to get to the dirty areas on the ice. He is a very driven player, and we are excited to work with Isak this season.”

Hagens continuing to put in work despite hectic schedule

MINNEAPOLIS — James Hagens has had quite a year. The 18-year-old helped the United States win its second straight gold medal as the top-line center at the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship in January before following that up with a workmanlike performance as the No. 1 pivot at Boston College as a freshman last season.

MINNEAPOLIS — James Hagens has had quite a year.

The 18-year-old helped the United States win its second straight gold medal as the top-line center at the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship in January before following that up with a workmanlike performance as the No. 1 pivot at Boston College as a freshman last season.

He was starry-eyed watching actor Adam Sandler announce him as the No. 7 pick to the Boston Bruins during the 2025 NHL Draft at L.A. Live’s Peacock Theater on June 27, gained great experience at Bruins development camp earlier in July, and then attended the premier of Sandler’s “Happy Gilmore 2,” where he met and conversed with the famed actor at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York on July 21.

Whew!

“You’re going from place to place, state to state, so it’s crazy but it’s just something you have to let soak in because it only happens once,” Hagens said.

He’s one of 42 U.S. players attending the World Junior Summer Showcase this week at Ridder Arena, looking to lead and make a difference as the Americans prepare for a possible three-peat at the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship in St. Paul and Minneapolis from Dec. 26-Jan. 5.

“To have the whole thing behind him probably feels good and then to be drafted by Boston, in the same city that he’s playing college hockey, was probably exciting for him,” said Boston College coach Greg Brown, who is also serving as the assistant coach for the U.S. “I know it just seemed to be a lot … you’d see all the interviews he went through for the draft, and he’s trying to play well and do as well as he can for BC.

“I think now that the whole draft is behind him, he knows where he’ll be to start his pro career. He can concentrate on just playing hockey and that’ll probably be much easier.”

He looks laser focused on helping the U.S. win a third straight gold and do it on home ice for the first time. He has four assists in two exhibition games, playing center on a line with BC teammate Teddy Stiga (Nashville Predators) and right wing Brodie Ziemer (Buffalo Sabres).

“Creating culture is a huge part of this, you don’t want a divided locker room,” Hagens said. “Everyone here knows each other well. I think that’s something that really is helpful. It carries over a ton when you’re able to trust the guy off the ice, when you’re able to just go out there and play freely.”

Hagens tied for the U.S. lead with five goals in seven games to help his country win the championship at the 2025 WJC as the top center between Gabe Perreault (New York Rangers) and Ryan Leonard (Washington Capitals).

He also centered Perreault and Leonard at Boston College, where he had 37 points (11 goals, 26 assists) in 37 games.

“James had an unreal year. I can’t speak to the pressure he faced as a top pick in the draft, but I know it’s got to be a lot,” Stiga said. “I was his roommate, so I know what he was going through. It’s hard but I think he handled it well.

“He was a point per game player in college, and that’s hard to do playing with guys like Perreault and Leonard, who are really high skilled. Sometimes you saw him deferring to ‘Lenny,’ but you know he can score with the puck, he can pass the puck, do everything.”
