No it wouldn't. It's nothing. If it fell from that position, it would not be a catch.

I'll bet if he ran into the end zone, it would be a TD!

And if it was called that way in an NCAA or NFL game, it would be overturned. If it was called that way in a filmed high school game, the referee would likely be reprimanded. No-possession (yet, at least) on this would truly be a simple call in any level of football. Take away the sidelines in football and the walls in baseball, and the requirements for possession in football are nearly identical.
