I'm a big American football lover and soccer as well.. anyways.. when the ball is snapped.. and you are the running back.. your job is to get as much yardage as you can.. try not to get tackled.. The only thing you can't do when you are running the ball is you can't face mask... meaning don't yank the defenders mask when they are trying to tackle you.. to answer your question.. jump as any way you want.. as long as you get the first down or touchdown.

Cheers.

What are the rules regarding an offensive ball carrier jumping a defensive player attempting to tackle him? I was once told a player must not jump feet first, but dive over head first. I've seen a ball carrier hurdle an opposing player and not incur a penalty. If you could clear this up for me i would be grateful, cheers.

That's called "Hurdling". In NCAA rules (college football) the rule was changed a few years back making it legal for the runner (ballcarrier) to hurdle an opponent. So he can jump away! Not sure about the high school rule though, lots of differences between NCAA and HS rules.
