Now you can have other things, but I would need to see a rules reference on this one to support that the player is out of bounds. I think the play would stand depending on who was coming from out of bounds or how they got out of bounds (blocked, forced vs. going out on their own).

I'm no expert in NCAA rules (that's why I ask so many questions), and I know enough from other sports to know that sometimes something that seems clear in one section of the rules book is contradicted in another section, but there is this from the book:
SECTION 2. Out of Bounds
Player Out of Bounds
ARTICLE 1. a. A player is out of bounds when any part of their person touches
anything, other than another player or game official, on or outside a boundary
line (Rule 2-27-15) (A.R. 4-2-1-I and II).
b. An out-of-bounds player who becomes airborne remains out of bounds
until they touch the ground in bounds without simultaneously being out
of bounds.
c. A player who touches a pylon is out of bounds.
