As I said in my first post, I do not know the NCAA rule, but I dug up the Federation rule. Rule 6-1-5...Any kicking team member may recover a free kick if it has both touched the ground and gone beyond the plane of the free kick line. The two requirements may occur in any order.
Si not only was the first touching by K, but also (in my opinion) KCI (despite the lack of a valid fair catch signal (again in my opinion).
