Notre Dame College lineman could be 2015 NFL prospect
Shepherd's Howard Jones is regarded as one of the top small-college prospects in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Notre Dame College senior Doniel Gambrell is already receiving attention as a 2015 prospect because of what he did against Jones.
First let's start with details on Jones. He's 6-foot-2 1/2 and weighs 235 pounds. He attended the NFL Scouting Combine as a defensive end, running the second fastest 40-yard dash among players listed at the position behind South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney. Jones posted a swift 4.6 seconds.
Some NFL scouts view Jones as a defensive end. Others view him as an outside linebacker. NFLDraftScout.com ranks Jones as the 170th best prospect in the draft class. If that ranking holds, he would be selected in the fifth round.
Jones helped Shepherd finish 12-0 in the regular season and win the inaugural Mountain East Conference title. Shepherd played Notre Dame College and defeated the Falcons, 57-17. Jones faced one of his biggest challenges that afternoon, which is where Gambrell enters this draft tale .
Jones had seven tackles and a sack against the Falcons. But Notre Dame College coach Adam Howard said Gambrell, a 6-foot-6 right tackle, provided enough resistance to attract attention from the scouts who tracked Jones last season.
"Scouts are looking at him because of that game," Howard said. "He had a good game against Jones. Doniel is 6-6 and has an incredible wingspan. His measurables are off the charts."
Gambrell has an intriguing background. He attended Glenville High School and started his college career at Division I Eastern Michigan. He will enter next season as a three-year starter at NDC.
In short, he could become the first player in NDC's five-year football history to receive a serious NFL look.

The Royal Military College of Canada, a full-fledged degree-granting university, does not follow the naming convention used by the rest of the country, nor does its sister school Royal Military College Saint-Jean or the now closed Royal Roads Military College. college admissions
