Ineligible catches pass NFHS

Illegal touching. Since the foul occured in the end zone, you have a safety.

SouthGARef is correct. If an ineligible player who is behind the neutral zone, catches, bats or muffs a pass before it touches an opponent, it is illegal touching, a five yard penalty from the spot of the foul and loss of down. If he touches the pass beyond the neutral zone, it is offensive pass interference, a 15-yard penalty from the previous spot and loss of down.

Here the spot of the foul was in the end zone, so as SouthGARef says it is a safety.
