I found an interesting comment in the NFHS Handbook - page 52 - "A kicker does not become a kcker until his foot meets the ball in a punt or a drop kick. Up to that instant he is a runner and since he may fake a kick and try to advance he may be tackled. Once he becomes a kicker, he remains a kicker until he has completely regained his balance. Therefore, the period involved in roughing the kicker begins with his foot contacting the ball and continues until he regains his balance."
