Orono, Maine -- The stock continues to rise for Black Bear football standout Jamil Demby. The 6-for-5, 335 pound offensive lineman, fresh off his performance at the Reese's Senior Bowl, has accepted an invitation to showcase his talents at the 2018 National Football League (NFL) Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana from Feb. 27 to March 5.

Demby will take part in the week long NFL Combine where he will perform physical and mental tests in front of NFL coaches, general managers and scouts. He becomes just the sixth Black Bear to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine, joining Mike Buck (1990), Justin Strzelczyk (1990), Daren Stone (1997), Jerron McMillian (2012) and Kendall James (2014).

The 2018 NFL Scouting Combine will be televised live on the NFL Network. Demby will be grouped with the other offensive lineman and will join the running backs, placekickers and special teams on day one of on-field workouts (Friday, March 2).

Demby has garnered several postseason awards following his senior season with the Black Bears. Demby earned All-CAA First Team honors and was selected to the Phil Steele Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) All-America First Team. The Vineland, N.J. native was also a STATS FCS All-America Second Team and All-New England Football Team honoree.
