REPLY: NFHS and NCAA rules agree that until he puts his foot to the ball, K1 is a runner and can be legally hit and tackled. So the hit is legal. If, subsequent to the hit, he's still able to make contact with the ball, the remaining kicking rules apply; if not, any loose ball would be considered a fumble.
