This is not true. If he is forced out of bounds by the defender (as I think he was), he can re-establish himself inbounds and catch the ball. You don’t automatically get PI immunity just because the offensive player goes out of bounds.
This. An offensive player that voluntarily runs out of bounds can't be the first player to touch a pass, but one that is forced out simply has to re-establish themselves in the field of play.
