Yes, you have a catch. When is a player OOB? "A player or other person is out of bounds when any part of the person is touching anything, other than another player or game official, who is on or outside the sideline or end line." This player wasn't OOB when he touched the ball. If he comes down in bounds, the catch is legal.
In basketball, an airborne player is inobunds or OOB, based on where he last touched the floor. The same is not true in football.
