I'm not so sure about your ruling on this one. I'm open to being called an idiot on this one, but........
It is an incomplete pass - no foul on the play (Federation rules). He jumped from OOB, so he was still OOB when he touched the ball. The touching makes the ball dead (ball touching a player who is OOB).
It's the same as if he would have caught the ball OOB.
He never returned to the field, so there is no illegal participation. A player eligible at the start of a down is elegible through the entire down, so it's not pass interference.
Everything that follows the touching is ignored, since the play ended when the ball was touched.
