A 1 & 10 at A20, A88 is in his pass route, pass is thrown to him, he tips the ball up in the air, then steps out of bounds, comes back in the field of play catches the ball and runs for a TD. Legal / Illegal?

Once he goes out of bounds on his own, I think he's done for the down. That's probably an illegal touching without much of a penalty - probably just incomplete.
Now, in NFHS, it is ugly. That is illegal participation, 15 yards from the previous spot. The penalty does not fit the crime.

I thought in the pros and college once he goes out, he cant be the first one to touch it when he comes back in. So he could bounce it off of someone, come back in bounds, touch it and it be legal.

I know that's true in the pros, and the "penalty" is an automatic incomplete pass. You're right, once someone else touches it, he is back "in" the play. I really don't know about NCAA. |

In the NCAA rulesbook, in the definition or other mention for an incomplete pass, does it list a penalty?

It's a foul for Illegal Touching in NCAA. Loss of down at previous spot.
