Yes the ball has to leave the centers hands so the QB has the ball then hands back off to the Center then the Center can run. This play can appear to look like a miss snap if not done properly, giving the defense an opportunity to stop the play before it can work. This is why you do not see Center keepers to often. In addition this is why you never see Center Keepers in a Shotgun formation

What is centre circle in football?

Every player's position is important. The center hikes the ball to the QB. No center, no hiking the ball. He's also the closest one to the QB, so if he doesn't block well, the QB would get sacked every time. The Center is responsible for calling the blocking assignments of the offensive line and spotting the key defensive players, usually the middle linebacker and, if they are playing up close to the line of scrimmage, the safeties.
