Good points all. Here are a few others.
I would make it 6-7 yards off the line on regular plays. When I was a new U last year, I wanted to get close and not be afraid, so I lined up 4-5 yards off the LOS. You don't get a panoramic look at the play, and that extra step or two really helps.
Punts. Be sure to warn the defense to lay off the snapper. And line up 9-10 yards off the LOS. Don't turn to follow the kick until the players pass you. Stay still, move a step or two to the side if you must. I lined up on my first punt last the first time at U 5 yards off the LOS and turned to follow the ball after it crossed the NZ and got clipped. Almost ruined a budding career. Backed up and stayed still and never was touched the rest of the season.
