it gets it high but isnt he also using a kicking tee?
Sure looks like it.
He is using a kicking block. Lays flat on the ground and the top usually has grooves or dimples (usually squared off or will have angle cut on sides so the foot doesn't hit it. The tee would be used for kickoffs. They have similar functions except tees are designed to hold the football on their own while the blocks are flat on top and designed to raise it off the ground while the holder balances it.
High schools still allow this and colleges used to allow blocks but did away with them around the early '90s.
