Under NF rules, it's a touchback as soon as the kick breaks the goal line plane. Under NCAA and NFL rules, it's simply a touchback if he's tackled before he gets out of the end zone.

and part 2. is the rule the same for an interception in the end zone - tackled in the end zone attempting to get out and upfield?
thanks
It's a touchback under all three rules codes.
