Am I correct in saying that in the NFL, when a defense player recovers a fumble in any area outside the endzone, but carries the ball into the endzone and is tackled, the result is a safety? And that this is true regardless of whether the player had his momentum carry him into the endzone or not.

But if a player who has intercepted a ball, has his momentum carry himself into the endzone, and either downs it or is tackled, the result is a touchback.

How do such rules translate over to high school and college football?
