If the center is uncovered (no other linemen, ends, receivers on one side of the line) is he an eligible receiver?

in a kicking situation he is as long as he is wearing an eligible number. Tackle to tackle is supposed to be in 50-79 in a non-kicking formation. In a kicking situation he can be an eligible receiver if he is uncovered and wearing the proper number.

I think the proper term would be a scrimmage kick situation or formation

So you couldn't line up with your tight end over the ball and him be eligible?
