Right. He is the end.

If it is a scrimmage kick formation meeting Rule 7-2-5b, the snapper could be eligible if he is on the end of the line and has an eligible number. Depending on the down, you could have other players with eligible numbers that are in under the numbering exception. This is covered in Rule 7-2-5. Definitely, if the snapper is on the end of the line, he is not in under the numbering exception and if he has an eligible number, he is an eligible receiver. |

Am I missing something? If a team is NOT using the "numbering exception" (they deploy 5 men numbered between 50-79 on the LOS) the snapper can wear whatever number he likes, and snap from wherever he chooses. If he happens to be wearing an eligible number, and snaps from either end of the line he would be eligible to catch a forward pass
If he snaps from anywhere inside the ends, on the LOS, it doesn't matter what number he wears but he will not be an eligible receiver, because of his "position". ALL the numbering exception requirements apply ONLY when the numbering exception is used. |
