There is not such thing as "announcing" an eligible player (unless you are in the NFL).

And ineligible number is ineligible no matter where they are located. All that is required is to have 5 players on the LOS with the numbers 50-79 (if not in a scrimmage kick formation). If a use a player numbered from 50-79 in another location other than the line, they cannot become eligible just because of their position.
