Yes he can jump over the cut block but best way is to ward it off by using his hands and riding the block down into the ground.  As a defensive end he is free to use his hands to push and ward off blocks.  Most blocks below the waist under the National Federation Rules (High school & Pop Warner Rules) are illegal.
