With the way you are describing it, I would say no. A player is not a kicker until he is in a kicking movement. Until that point he is a runner. If the punter is in midprocess of the kick, I would say it is, but if the kicker has ball solidly in hand and not in a kicking motion, then no. I would prefer to see film of such a situation to make a definitive account of that specific play.
