Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz Sounds Alarm Over Controversial New Punting Rule—What’s Really at Stake?

The new rules surround jersey numbering and players on the line of scrimmage. Frank Wilson Jr., a special teams coach at Tennessee Tech, provided a breakdown.

“1. Formations must be 2×2 on either side of the snapper. Unless there are five players, wearing numbers 50-79 on the LOS. 2. Players are locked into the 2×2 formation with the Guards & Tackles in, or touching the tackle box. No shifting, and they are ineligible. 3. If five players wearing 50-79 are on the LOS, normal football rules go into effect (shifting/eligibility). 4. If a team elects to change player jerseys to alleviate numbering exceptions, a team may fill out a form and present it to the referees in the pregame meetings. An announcement will be made prior to the play about the changes,” Wilson posted on X, formerly Twitter.
