Touching
A punts the ball near sideline. R25 goes out of bounds on his own and before interring back onto the field grabs the ball at the 25 yd line. What do we have?

However, R25 might only have stepped "out of bounds on his own" while legitimately running towards the ball, and that shouldn't be called illegal participation. I think you'd have to see him looking at the sideline and carefully stepping out of bounds and having to reach or step in a ways to play the ball before you'd call IP. Regardless, let's hope R25 isn't "interring" anybody! |
This is not a foul in NCAA. First, there is no such thing as illegal participation. Second, in NCAA it’s only illegal for a Team A player to return in bounds after going out during a scrimmage kick play. Because he never returned inbounds, he has not fouled. This is simply a loose ball out of bounds. It will be Team B’s ball at the B-25.

NFHS- Illegal Participation if the ball was inbounds and R25 was out.

NFHS- Illegal Participation
I may need some help here, but for R25 to commit illegal participation, he must return in-bounds. Since he was OOB, no penalty & ball is dead.

9-6-2 No player shall intentionally go out of bounds and b: intentionally touch the ball.
