Under pure NCAA rules (not accounting for any HS exceptions), the receivers can elect to take the ball 5 yards from where it went OOB, or they can elect to have the 5 yards penalized and then a rekick, or they can take the ball 35 yards from where kicked. They could decline all penalties and just take at the OOB spot but that option would RARELY be elected.
