    College career

    Stanley played in two games as a true freshman in 2012 in a reserve role.[4] As a sophomore in 2013, he started all 13 games at right tackle, and was part of an offensive line that allowed just eight sacks and ranked second in the FBS in fewest sacks allowed. As a junior in 2014, he moved to left tackle, taking over for Zack Martin.[5][6][7] He started all 13 games, allowing only just one sack all year. He contemplated entering the 2015 NFL draft, but ultimately decided to return to Notre Dame for his senior season.[8][9] After his senior season, he officially announced to enter the 2016 NFL draft.
