Can a defensive player go out of bounds then return to the field to tackle an offensive player?
Yes he can. If you want proof you can see it in a Super Bowl XLIII re-run where #92 of the Steelers ran that interception back for a touchdown. Larry Fitzgerald was out of bounds just before he tackled #92 in the end zone. Only if the player was forced out of bounds by the opposing team can he come back in to make a tackle which was not the case in SB XLIII and Fitzgerald. He may have been forced out by an Arizona player but he was no forced out by a Pittsburgh player. He was not flagged because they simply did not see it.

If a fumble occurs and the player is out of bounds can he come back and pick up the ball and continue play?
A defensive player may go out of bounds and then come back in bounds and make a tackle or recover a fumble. An offensive player may not go out of bounds voluntarily and then catch a pass. The only other rule about going out of bounds in the college rulebook is that a member of the kicking team may not go out of bounds voluntarily and then come back onto the field to make a play.

Can a offense player go out of bounds then return to the field and receive a ball?
If they are inbounds when they catch the ball, it is okay. Catching it out of bounds doesn't count, even if you were pushed. And if you caught it inbounds, but were pushed out of bounds before your feet came down, it can be ruled as a legal catch.

Can the offense return a blocked PAT for 2-point conversion high school?
In high school football, if a point-after-touchdown (PAT) attempt is blocked, the offensive team cannot return the blocked kick for a 2-point conversion. The play is considered dead once the kick is blocked, and the offensive team cannot advance the ball. However, if the defense gains possession of the ball after the block, they can attempt to return it for a defensive score.
Can you take relief from an out of bounds stake?
No, you cannot take relief from an out of bounds stake.

The out of bounds area is considered a part of the course where play is not permitted, and relief cannot be taken from it.
