Sorry I was not clear. In adjusting to the pass, the DB inadvertently stepped on the sideline; then returned to intercept the pass. The LJ dropped his cap to indicate the player had stepped OOB and almost immediately signaled incomplete. The player was knocked OOB just after the catch, so he may have waited until the end of the play. I saw no flag and there was no penalty yardage accessed. I do not claim to know the NCAA rules and do not know if any penalty should be accessed. I think the penalty is loss of down without any yardage. I'll you NCAA guys address that if you like.
The point I wanted to make is under NF rules it would be different. 9-6-1 states ... "no player of A or K shall go out of bounds and return during the down unless blocked out of bounds by an opponent." ... Under NF rules, the DB in this case could return and the interception would stand.
