    He's called the holder. Any player may assume this position when the ball is being kicked.

    So... are you just posting the same question over and over??

    If you ask again next week, it'll still likely be the holder.

    There is no name for the player who holds the ball for the punter because that only happens when it is very windy and the ball won't stay on the tee. The position for the player that holds the ball for the place kicker is simply holder or place holder.

    Actually nobody holds the ball for the punter except for the punter himself

    You are right about that.

    It is called the plae kick holder. You will usually see the 2nd string quarterback holding the ball for a field goal attempt.
