Play is dead as soon as the player gains possession. He clearly had possession prior to going into the endzone.

Not quite. Player needs to be established in the field of play and he was still moving.

The rule says nothing about remaining in the field of play. I've seen this call in college several times.

quote:

Catch or Recovery by Kicking Team
ARTICLE 6. a. If a player of the kicking team catches or recovers a scrimmage kick that has crossed the neutral zone, the ball becomes dead (A.R. 6-3-1-IV). The ball belongs to the receiving team at the dead-ball spot, unless the kicking team is in legal possession when the ball is declared dead. In the latter case, the ball belongs to the kicking team.

If he were at like the five, and did the same thing, would his momentum moving let him down at the 2 where he winds up or the 5 where he caught it?

The rule has to be right where he gains possession or it would allow the kicking team to further advance the ball.
