Technically, it is legal, though it would be pretty awkward to attempt such an act.

By rule, a snap must be "a quick and continuous backward motion of the ball during which the ball immediately leaves the hand(s) of the snapper and touches a back or the ground before it touches a lineman."

So the snap does NOT necessarily have to go between the snapper's legs. But going over the shoulder with "a quick and continuous backward motion" isn't really feasible unless the center is lying on the ground.
