Path of a fallen star: the sad ending to DJK's story
Derrell Johnson-Koulianos showed up for his court appearance on the blustery Wednesday morning dressed in a gray turtleneck, black blazer, and freshly pressed slacks. Sunglasses shielded his eyes from the camera clicks and the recording devices as he made his way to the courthouse. His hair and beard were newly trimmed ? a decidedly different look from his mug shot taken at the Johnson County Jail some 19 hours earlier. There, he wore a hooded sweatshirt ? his hair not groomed, his facial hair a mess.
It wasn't supposed to end this way for Johnson-Koulianos, the most prolific wide receiver in Iowa history. It wasn't supposed to end with police raiding his house. It wasn't supposed to end with the discovery of pharmaceutical drugs. It wasn't supposed to end with Johnson-Koulianos reportedly testing positive for cocaine and marijuana. It wasn't supposed to end with the 23-year-old being formally charged with seven drug-related charges and national headlines about an Iowa player running a "drug house."
No, it wasn't supposed to end this way at all.

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - An investigation into sexual hazing in southeast Idaho that has embroiled a member of Boise State University's powerhouse football team has grown to include more victims, authorities said on Thursday.
Three college football players and two others are facing a raft of sexual crime, battery and false imprisonment charges stemming from incidents at a high school in Blackfoot, Idaho, last year, according to court documents.
Police say the five athletes forcibly penetrated fellow members of the high school basketball team and battered and restrained the victims in a locker room and on a school bus during a three-month period that began last December.
Charged are Anthony Clarke, now a freshman wide receiver at Boise State University, Nathan Walker, a tight end for the Idaho State University Bengals, Logan Chidester, a freshman on the football team at Carroll College in Montana and Tyson Katseanes of Blackfoot, all 19.
A fifth, unnamed defendant has been charged as a juvenile in the case.
