I was cleaning my tank and he decided to jump out of the net. It took us about 2 min. to get him back to the net. Do you think he will be okay?

I took him out of the tank because I had to do a full water change. There was a problem with my water where it kept bubbling over the top from the air stone. (Don't worry, I used water from another established tank in it)

He might, or not, depending on whether or not he was injured. If he fell from high up and broke a leg or ribs then he will probably not recover. How is he acting? If he's swimming around / eating as he normally would, then he is probably fine.
Is there a reason you took him out with a net to clean the tank? You should never have to remove the fish / frogs from the tank to clean it - simply drain half of the water with a small turkey baster or a syphon tube and replace with fresh water, leaving the fish in the tank.

Your frog should be just fine. No need to pull him out of the tank...occasional partial water changes are all that's really necessary. Your filtration and chemicals should do the rest. Buy a Plecostomus or algae eater as a bottom feeder and it will help keep your tank clean as well. Have fun.

As long as it is acting normal you shouldn't have too much to worry about. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it's OK.
