Definitely an IBB, I would have a talk with the kid as well. Given what was going on in the play, a hit like that can only breed ill will.

I would love to see the end zone view but from this angle it appears to be a side block. It is a blind side block but he appears to lead with his hands so that wouldn't be a foul (using NCAA rules it MIGHT be if you still felt it was forcible since they don't officially have the hands provision). You could possibly have a UNR if everyone know the ball was rolling dead and there was no reason for the block. That aligns with Bigfrizz's comment about breeding ill will.

Can you have a BSB when players are running a distance essentially shoulder to shoulder?

Agree that it looks like a side block from this angle. Interesting question about the BSB, Mike.

You can but it's probably less likely. Most BSB involve players running at each other at an angle.

No foul for the block.  The knee on the other hand...

The block itself isn’t likely to cause injury, and the guy that got blocked knew he was there, and could have taken some action to defend himself.   The block was a side block.

No foul, IMHO.

https://youtu.be/SDVXw_CilXM  Is this a BSB?  Better question would be ->  Is every direction the blind side if the player is looking up for the football on a punt play?

Not blindside IMO but leading with the helmet and a helmet to helmet hit.
