Are legal except with forcible contact.
15 yard penalty plus AFD.
Could have Blind-Side Block with Targeting.

5. Targeting
No change to what determines targeting. Rule & 9-1-4
Basically have 2 “levels” of targeting in UIL games.
Flagrant – 15 yards; AFD; Player DQ
Non-flagrant – 15 yards: AFD; Counts as 1st toward DQ (2 = DQ)
Flagrant Targeting – No doubt there was targeting & action that could cause catastrophic injury to either player.
1 non-flagrant targeting + 1 UNS ≠ DQ
