Legal. Here’s the language of the rule:

“2. The ball remains live if, at the snap, a place-kick holder with his knee(s) on the ground and with a teammate in kicking position rises and catches or recovers an errant snap and immediately returns his knee(s) to the ground and places the ball for a kick or again rises to advance, hand, kick or pass.
  

  NOTE: The ball becomes dead if the place-kick holder muffs the snap or ­fumbles and recovers after his knees have been off the ground, and he then ­touches the ground with other than hand or foot while in possession of the ball.”
