Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, Iowa's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, has been arrested by Iowa City Police on multiple counts of possession of controlled substances, keeping a drug house and unlawful possession of prescription drugs.

Johnson-Koulianos is being held in the Johnson County Jail and is expected to make an initial court appearance Wednesday morning. He's being held on $8,000 bail.

"I am highly disappointed to learn of the charges. Derrell has been suspended from all team activities," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said in a statement Tuesday evening.

Johnson-Koulianos caught 46 passes for 745 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2010, good enough for first-team All-Big Ten honors. In his career, he caught 173 passes for 2,616 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Iowa entered the season with high expectations -- which included national championship aspirations -- but finished 7-5 after losing its last three games. The Hawkeyes will square off against Missouri in the Insight Bowl, but it appears they will do so without their top receiving threat.

I know him, he went to my Alma mater for 3 years then bolted for Mooney his senior season.

He's a good kid for the most part, but I think he wants to live the Matt Leinart lifestyle of partying. It's a shame, he COULD have been a first round draft pick, maybe lower, but I wonder how many teams pass on him altogether now.

It's the boosters or agents fault. If someone had given him a boat load of money, he wouldn't have had to become a dealer.

Did he have any history in Soup City? He might escape time with no record, but I suppose it all depends on amounts and circumstances.

Me too. Obviously not privy to home town stuff but close enough to hear rumblings and I never did hear a bad thing ever. Too bad.

he needs help more than time.

He just lost a shit ton of money, he will definitely slip in the draft if even drafted at all. Cocaine and marijuana plus pills.

Saw a report on the Big Ten Channel about him not long ago. The Koulianos family adopted him. Seemed like a nice kid.

He's already Iowa's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, now he's going to get ahold of another record in the near future!

He should have had Cam Newton's dad broker him a deal when he signed with the Hawkeyes.
