Ok...I don't have my rulebooks with me, but I'll give it a shot.
If he steps up and is now on the line, that would make 8 on the line and that is legal. Now if he goes in motion towards the TE, this would be illegal motion when the ball is snapped because he became an end when he moved up.
If he's still in the backfield after his step up and is angling forward towards the TE with his motion, it would also be illegal motion at the snap.
In both cases, 5 yards from the previous spot if accepted by B.
