Illegal formation?
« on: October 28, 2018, 04:25:25 pm »
Can a one stripper line up as a legal receiver  or do they have to be covered up by a legal ball carrier?

Maybe different for might might.  But for grade 3-7, they can line up as a receiver or a TE on the end if the line.  However they are not an “eligible” receiver and cannot be a ball carrier.   Here’s the actual rule:

Offense
1. May play end but is not an eligible receiver and cannot advance the ball in a designed play but may advance the ball after the recovery of a DEFENSIVELY CAUSED fumble.
