#3 and #5 are in the guard/center gap and #24 is in scrimmage kick formation.

Does the exception apply? (I believe it does)

Can the center (#64) direct snap to to #3 or #5 and will the exception apply? (I believe it still does)

My crew is having a discussion and we are looking for other opinions.

Thanks in advance.
I am guessing you are asking if #3 and #5 are in position to receive the snap?

The rule is that there must be a player seven yards deep and in position to receive the long snap with no player in position to receive a "hand-to-hand" snap from between the snappers legs. The formation as shown is a scrimmage kick formation.
