The player pretending to run off the field is guilty of a foul because of the use of a substitution or pretended substitution to deceive the defense, not deception by position. Take our word for it the snapper is eligible as long as he fulfills all of the other requirements. Legal number and on the end of the line. Obviously he fulfills the requirement of being within 15 yards of the ball between the ready signal and the snap.
