ineligible receiver numbers

[defensivewall]

In HS football is there a such thing as ineligible numbers. I believe it used to be 50s 60s 70s and 90s were ineligible

90s are eligible numbers in high school. I've seen 50s, 60s, and 70s, in the backfield as blockers and they can be eligible receivers if they notify the referee.

Actually, the first part of that is correct. Anyone numbered 50-79 is ineligible. However, there is no provision to report as eligible in high school football. Those numbers are never eligible .

To be eligible to receive a forward pass you have to be eligible by number and position, meaning a guy wearing an eligible number can still be ineligible by position (if he's lined up on the interior of the line of scrimmage.)

Thanks for the correction White Hat. Rules are always changing.
