Here we want the O's to be eligible receivers and X's are line and ineligible.

Also, a NFHS reference would be appreciated if you can, thanks!

The "center" is never eligible as he is always the middle of the line and is covered up every play. Having said that, I assume you mean to ask if the "snapper" can be eligible. Under 11-man NFHS rules, as long as he is on the end of the line and isn't ineligible by number, he is eligible.
