If the block by B5 prevented the release by A4 it is definitely a jump ball. If the player released the ball for a try and caught it on the way down, I have nothing. If A4 hits the ball without preventing B5 from releasing the ball on the try and A4 comes down with the ball I have a travel. I am basing my interpretations on Fed rules. I don't have my NCAA book handy. I think the rules are the same.
You definitely don't have to come down holding the ball to have a held ball. The only criteria is if the defender prevented the try by getting a hand on the ball. It would probably be the top of the ball.
