There is none.  Ineligible downfield only applies to forward passes that go beyond the line of scrimmage.

As Welpe stated, there is no NCAA rule on this.  What you are discussing is an NFL rule only:

During a kick from scrimmage, only the end men (eligible receivers) on the line of scrimmage at
the time of the snap, or an eligible receiver who is aligned or in motion behind the line and is more than
one yard outside the end man, are permitted to advance more than one yard beyond the line before the
ball is kicked.
Penalty: For advancing more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage before the ball is kicked:
Loss of five yards.
