Title: Locking Legs
Post by: BetweenTheLines on October 10, 2020, 08:26:21 PM

So offensive lineman outside of players next to the snapper as in NFHS can have their feet clearly inside of the player next to him on the line in NCAA, right?

For NCAA: in 2011, the prohibition against offensive linemen having the legs “interlocked” at the snap was eliminated. Don’t know if that was a true rules committee thing, or a Redding thing. Moot now.

Excuse me, NFHS:7-2-2 advises, "Players on each side of and next to the snapper may lock legs with the snapper, but any other "A" linemen must have each foot outside the closest foot of the player next to him at the snap."

Why would NHFS rules apply, to a question asked in the NCAA forum?

Simply to clarify what seemed like a confusing/misleading reference made, in this discussion, regarding an NFHS status of a similar interpretation.
