REPLY: As a follow-up, here's a case play right from the NFHS website. I hope this helps resolve the question definitively:
*2.17.2 SITUATION D, Page 14: Linebacker B7 is in the free-blocking zone, but off the line of scrimmage. B7 blocks A8 below the waist. RULING: Illegal block. In order for a block below the waist to be legal, both the blocker and the person being blocked must be on the line of scrimmage at the snap and in the free-blocking zone.
