I like the clarity of the NCAA rule on this topic: 7.3.10.1
I suspect NFHS was trying to accomplish the same sort of thing. Without my rulebook I don't know how far the neutral zone is expanded in NFHS but I assume to the endzone. If that's the case, the only limit they're putting on highschool linemen is that they need to stay out of the endzone when a passing play is developing close to the goal line - a reasonable enough request.
I assume the neutral zone is expanded to the EZ. My question is: what about OPI? i.e. A64 is drives B72 back 10 yards from the LOS and a pass develops in that general vicinity?
