9-6-3 "No replaced player or substitute shall hinder an opponent,
touch the ball, influence the play or otherwise participate."
He meets the definition of a substitute (2-31-15), and he meets this requirement of illegal participation.
But as I said, unless he's using a trampoline or being tossed by the cheer squad when it hits him, I'm ruling incomplete.
