Would it be a safety or a touchback?

BC

Safety. The ball is being possessed by a player out-of-bounds, and is thus out-of-bounds itself (similar to the Ty Montgomery situation above). So it would be treated as if the ball was blocked out of the back of the end zone (since that's where Thomas would've been out of bounds), for a safety.
