The way the initial description was made, there is also a possibility for illegal formation. The OP mentioned that the player was on the line and facing his team. That would fail to comply with the part of 2-32-9 which requires a lineman to face his opponent's goal line and have his shoulders approximately parallel to it. He would then not count as a lineman, and its possible his team only has six on the line.

If the QB doesn't signal to the sub that he shouldn't be on the field, and if the sub complies with the requirements for being a lineman and getting between the nines after the RFP, it sounds like a legal play. I haven't seen the video, either, so I'll defer my opinion on this case to a later time.
