Announcers are idiots.

Hard to tell but looks like the ball might have been possessed before the returner stepped out of bounds.

Did the left foot come down prior to the right foot. I could not tell.

Good pickup as that is apparently what did happen. And if it did, this would NOT be a KO OOB as it was touched by an inbounds player before he went OOB

Not according to NCAA rules.
The officials got it right.

What NCAA rule are you referring to? If it is the recent AR about an airborne player possessing the ball and landing OOB it does not apply if you judge his left foot came down inbounds first

That is the rule. The player was in the act of catching the ball and in doing so landed out of bounds. It is just that simple.
