  1. Is it illegal to hurdle a lineman? Yes...it's illegal to hurdle any opponent. Just make sure that you read NF 2-21 to fully understand what hurdling is.
  2. Is it illegal to launch yourself off the center's back? Yes. It's a personal foul to position yourself on the shoulders or body of an opponent or teammate in order to gain an advantage.
  3. Is it illegal to launch yourself off of ANY o-lineman's back? Same
I can go with the hurdling but I don't agree that vaulting on jumping while using my arms to push up against another player in order to get hight would be "positioning".
