In that situation I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to release early.

I am looking into it, because I don't know the answer off the top of my head.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been in Europe for a while.

There is no restriction on any player of the kicking team holding behind the LOS until a scrimmage kick happens. If there are no rushers to block a player is free to travel down field whenever he feels like it.

Now Federation rules for HS games in states other than Texas or MA may be different.

Federation is the same....

I couldnt' remember if the line had to wait until the ball was kicked to release in college.
