The Sleeper Play is DEAD. RIP
There is no way around the rules to legally run this play. Yes, we have NFHS rule:7-2-1 that says players must be within 15 yds of the ball after the RFP and that helps.
But the main rule to keep in mind is Illegal Participation 9-6-4c.
No substitution or pretended substitution can be deceiving to the opponents. It is the responsibility of the substituting team to do so in such a manner as not to be confusing or deceptive.
If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and acts like a duck, it a SLEEPER PLAY. Call it.
NCAA rules concur.
