Is the rule different for NF? Here's the NCAA version:
Rule 2-14-1a - Hurdling is an attempt by a player to jump with one or both feet or knees foremost over an opponent who is still on his feet (Exception: the runner) (Rule 9-1-2-i)
Rule 2-14-1b - "On his feet" means that no part of the opponent's body other than one or both feet is in contact with the ground.
Rule 2-14-1c - Hurdling an offensive player before the snap is a dead-ball foul. This includes offensive players in a three or four point stance.
Rule 9-1-2i - There shall be no hurdling (Exception: The runner may hurdle an opponent).
