Rule 2-29- Article 1 . . . Passing the ball is throwing a ball that is in player possession. In a a pass, the ball travels in flight. Article 2 . . . A forward pass is a pass thrown with its initial direction toward the opponents end line.

We need a little more information on the play.
What did the holder do? Is he still holding the ball on the tee?
Or, was this a punt?
