I have a hard time believing a college assigner/evaluator is going to look at that play and say they like the no call on that.

All college supervisors or evaluates are not the same. I cannot speak for all of them or suggest that everyone agrees one way or the other.
But if the first major contact was with the ball and part of the follow through is contact with other parts of the body, I have yet to run into any supervisor that has players of this ability and height (and yes there are high school players that are this big in many places) to suggest what you are suggesting. Yes the defender might have jumped from A to B in the air, but his initial contact appears to be with the ball and mostly the ball. I have not ever had a clinician at a college game suggest that is a good foul to call. Again, that is my experience. I will not speak for others or other parts of the country.
