In NFHS, a field goal is a scrimmage kick just like a punt (except it has a chance at scoring). If it is short and still in the field of play, it can be recovered by R and returned, downed by K, muffed by R and recovered by K, etc. If the kick breaks the goal line plane and does not go through the uprights, it is a touchback and R would get the ball at the 20.
I don't have my book with me but check Rule 2 for the definition of a scrimmage kick (found under Kicks) and look over Rule 6 for kicking rules.
