He's a keeper though, I imagine this is how they jump on a consistent basis

I personally saw him NOT trying to handle or control the ball with his arms, and personally I still don't think he did.

The fact that the ball did make contact with his UNDERarm/arm pit makes me even more confident it's not handball. Although perhaps the laws of the game could be slightly more explicit here, as I think it only mentions hands and arms (not other bodily areas)

I guess we need an expert biologist/lawyer to confirm whether the arm pit/UNDER arm actually constitutes being the same thing as the arm (as it's clearly not the hand!)
