If however, the player was a participant in the fourth quarter, would you treat the OT's like an extension of the fourth quarter and would the player be allowed to participate? I know this is really not a decision that officials are responsible for making, but I was asked this question by one of our coaches at the high school I teach at, so I'm asking you guys, the experts. Thanks.

This is not in the rulebook, this must be a state or local rule you are thinking of. I've done JV games where a player would play all 4 quarters, and then in the Varsity game they would play at least 2 quarters.
The only way I could answer this for you is to say that any over time periods are an extension of the 4th quarter. If it were me, that player would be allowed to play.
