In HS the position of the player is irrelevant. That might be an NFL rule.

I tried to find validation in the rule and case books last night, but I was struggling to do so. The case book refers to a play where K jumps and secures it at the 1 but lands in the end zone -- it calls that a touchback -- but that's a different situation as the ball's not legally secured until the player lands.
You're probably right that I've let what I see in the NFL color my outlook on the play.
