It is a touchback.
The placekicker is responsible for kicking field goals and extra points. In many cases, the placekicker also serves as the team's kickoff specialist and sometimes punter
The two uprights are treated as if they extend upward to infinity. So the height of the ball as it passes over/through the uprights does not matter.
It is called a Goal. It is worth 6 points. The minor score of a 'Behind' worth 1 Point is awarded for a kick between the main uprights and the outer lower uprights. 1 Point is also awarded if a kick through the Center Uprights is touched in flight by an opposing team player or if it touches the uprights in flight. In other words to get the 6 points it must go untouched between the center uprights.

Usually said when the kicker kicks the ball through the center of the goal posts.
nothing, a player will normally be there to catch it and play on. It's not a score because field goals must be attempted on a scrimmage down, not on a free kick like a kickoff. The only exception is the fair-catch kick, which allows you to attempt a field goal immediately after a fair catch. Therefore, if a kickoff goes through the uprights (and subsequently lands out of play), it is simply a touchback for the receiving team.
If it passes between the uprights and above the crossbar, it counts. Otherwise, it does not count.
Because players kick over the cross bar it was found that it became very difficult t judge if the ball passed through between the 2 uprights. The uprights were the built higher to remove the ambiguity
