Drico Johnson is one of 23 seniors on the UCF's football team roster, but his journey summarizes many of the wild experiences of this year's class.

During the past four years, he has gone through four position coaches — he started out as a receiver — and three head coaches. Johnson played through the best and worst of times for the program, competing in the Knights' 2013 Fiesta Bowl win only to watch it all crash down two years later during a winless season.

The plot had many twists and turns, but players like Johnson made sure their final chapter was a good one.
