Eligibility rules applies only for forward passes. If it's not a forward pass, we don't care about eligibility. A handoff is not a forward pass.
Don't get hung up on if his position is normally refered to as wide receiver or running back, we don't care about that. If he is in the backfield, he is a back by rule. His number then determines if he is also an eligible receiver.
Hope I didn't confuse you with that answer.
So the short answer is, yes he can take a handoff.
