On a screen pass, does the receiver have to be behind the line of scrimmage when

he catches the ball, in order for the downfield lineman not to be considered an illegible receiver downfield?

It looks like Parker is beyond the line of scrimmage on this play.

This is pretty clever from BYU

It looks like it's going to be Mesh Rail, but it ends up being a WR Middle Screen 👌 pic.twitter.com/hUB2kg1Xs5

Correct. Parker is just at the line; much further and they’d have called it.

Not really a screen. Screen-like.

Online didn’t start blocking downfield until after the catch.

so is it a problem that Makasini is like 6 yards past the LOS when Parker

If Parker caught it a yard or two further, yes

Ball has to be caught behind the line

Yes, that probably could have been called, but that close and they shouldn't

If you pause it when he catches it, his feet are on the line

At the line of scrimmage is the same as being behind it

I thought the same thing.

At or behind the LOS. Usually you have a 1 yard buffer zone.
