Yes he can. I assume you're talking Federation rules.
Rule reference:
4-2-2
The ball becomes dead and the down is ended:
f. When the kickers catch or recover any free kick anywhere, and when the
kickers catch or recover a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone and
when the kickers are first (i.e., before any touching by the receivers) to
touch a scrimmage kick after it has come to rest beyond the neutral zone
and between the goal lines.
There is no prohibition against Team K advancing a scrimmage kick recovered behind the neutral zone.
