Umm, no. I'm a fed guy, but I'm fairly certain on the NCAA front this is wrong as well. A quick websearch for NCAA rules reveals:
Rule 7-3, Article 3: "Eligibility rules apply during a down when a legal forward pass is thrown. All Team B players are eligible to touch or catch a pass. When the ball is snapped, the following Team A players are eligible:"
Article 3a: "Each player who is in an end position on his scrimmage line and who is wearning a number
other than 50 through 79 (A.R. 7-3-3I).
And further in Article 3b: "Each player who is legally positioned as a back wearing a number
other than 50 through 79."
And again in Article 3c: "A player wearing a number
other than 50 through 79 in position to receive a hand-to-hand snap from between the snapper’s legs."
Pretty definitive that those numbered 50-79 must be on the line, and in all situation are ineligible (barring exceptions such as scrimmage kicks as Bob mentioned and when eligibility restrictions end).
I don't see how A-11 could be feasible in NCAA given their ruleset.
