(i cant get formation to fall into place correctly 21 and 11 are split wide, 10, 20 and 5 are the personal protectors and 1 is the punter sorry)
By rule once 25 the center puts his hands on the football numbers 34, 25, 86 become ineligible numbers by the fourth down numbering exception
Now before the ball is snapped #20 shifts to be on the line to the right of number 86. He sets for the one second count.
After all of Ks players are set #11 steps backwards and then goes in motion across the backfield and the ball is snapped.
My question is when #20 places himself in a covered up position on the line has he now deemed himself ineligible under the 4th down numbering exception rule?
Once a player becomes ineligible they remain ineligible throughout the play?

I'd like the rule reference for "By rule once 25 the center puts his hands on the football"
I'm doing some research and trying to confirm the "rule" and when searching both the rules book and case book for "initial" or "snapper" found no reference to the initial position being established at the time the snapper places his hand(s) on the ball. Can you help me out here?
Thanks
