First of all, there is no such thing as a forward lateral.
Now to answer your question - yes. A forward pass thrown from beyond the neutral zone is an illegal forward pass. If it hits the ground it's an incomplete pass and the ball is dead. If the penalty is accepted, and I'm sure it will be, it will be marked off from the spot where the illegal pass was thrown.
I'm speaking HS rules but I think it's the same in NCAA.
