I suspect NFHS views this as does NCAA, the kicker is more vulnerable than a passer and gets "extra" protection. It is the defender's responsibility to avoid the contact. That means if he is going to leave his feet, he better take an angle that will have him flying in front of the kicker and not in to him. The contact you described is a foul under NCAA rules.
