This is taken from the NCAA FB Rules:
2-27-4-1:
Lineman
"A lineman is any Team A player legally on his scrimmage line when
the ball is snapped. An interior lineman is any Team A player legally
on his scrimmage line and positioned between the end Team A players
who are also on the line of scrimmage at the snap. An ineligible pass
receiver of Team A is “on his scrimmage line’’ at the snap when he
faces his opponent’s goal line with the line of his shoulders parallel
thereto and his head breaking the plane of the line drawn through the
waistline of the snapper."
2-27-8:
Snapper
"The snapper is the player who snaps the ball. He becomes the
snapper when he assumes his position and touches or simulates (hand[s] at
or below his knees) touching the ball (Rule 7-1-3-a-1)."
I can't find anything in the NCAA Rules that says, verbatim, that the snapper, or a lineman, for that matter
must have their shoulders parallel to the LOS - it only mentions it in determining the eligibility/ineligibility of A players.
I'm sure I'm missing something though, if not the implied and expected inference that that's the way it is.
NCAA people?
