Provided that it was caught behind the NZ (very close), yes.
If beyond the NZ, then it would be a dead ball, R 1/10, and some risk of KCI (obstructing R's path to the kick).

Honestly, this play should have been ended at the moment of the catch - he was beyond the NZ, and HL should have caught that.

His first touch might have been at the forty, but possession was gained at the 41, IMO.

I just don't think that's the case. Looking at the LOS (and the stick), and then looking at where he gets the ball, I think he's ahead of that line. I do admit it's not a perfect angle.

Is there a distinction in NCAA (or even NFHS) between first touching and second, third, etc?
The kick doesn't end until possessed by either team or the ball otherwise becomes dead. If A touches a kick (and adds a new force) behind the LOS then gains possession of the ball beyond the LOS, would the ball not be dead and be B's ball at the point possession was gained? |

If this was a screen pass and linemen were 5 yards downfield, would you have flagged them for ineligible downfield? I wouldn't have.
I think he catches it behind the 40, which qualifies as in or behind the NZ. The ball has to cross the 40, not his foot.

He doesn't catch the ball behind the forty. He touches it, bobbles it and catches the ball, controls it at the 41.

We can agree to disagree.

When he actually comes down and makes the catch, I think it is close but the ball seems to be right on the 40 with his right leg at around the 41. Speaking NCAA any touching in or behind the neutral zone before the kick crosses the neutral zone is ignored.

That's what I see. If not clearly beyond, it's behind.

In NFHS is it the NZ or ENZ??
ART. 3 . . . Any K player may catch or recover a scrimmage kick while it is in or behind the neutral zone and advance, unless it is during a try. ART. 5 . . . When any K player touches a scrimmage kick beyond the expanded neutral zone to R’s goal line before it is touched beyond the neutral zone by R and before the ball has come to rest, it is referred to as “first touching of the kick” and the place is the “spot of first touching.” Such touching is ignored if it is caused by R pushing or blocking K into contact with the ball.
