This years Point of Emphasis says it is illegal unless the player is superhuman.
It is nearly impossible for a lineman in a two-point stance to legally block below the waist in this situation because
of the time required for the lineman to drop from an upright position and block an opponent below the waist.
Prior to the snap, game officials should be aware of whether the ball will be snapped hand-to-hand or to
a back in shotgun formation, player positioning and alignment, and which players may legally block below the
waist.
How many state associations have said to call it BBW this year?

We'll still allow it if the player IMMEDIATELY blocks low at the snap, even in a 2-point stance. He can't delay to measure or better time the block.
