Well you are right. The record for NFL is 63 yards. The record for NCAA is 65 yards without a tee and 67 yards with a tee. The record for high school is 68 yards.
The BJ should be in position to rule on the GL but also able to rule on the goal posts just in case. I am surprised that it is not done more in high school because if it is no good it is just like a punt and can be downed at the one by K. NCAA and NFL put it back at the point of the snap or point of the kick. I was a kicker in high school and college and looking back I could have easily gotten 40 to 50 yards on a kick from a hold but our punter was lucky to get 35 yards.
