No. Check the definition of force in Rule 2. No new force can be imparted on the ball while it is in the endzone.

In addition, it's a loose ball, so the penalty would be enforced from the spot (which is the goal line) and would be a 15 yard

This is basic all but one enforcement. Go through the steps of penalty enforcement and you will get your answer.
What type of play is it? (Loose ball or running)
Who committed the foul? (Offense or Defense)
What is the spot of the foul?
Where is the basic spot?
