98 Roc Russell

Russell is a 6-0, 233, Senior defensive lineman from Orange Park HS. He is not on the online roster, but he was on the printed roster given out at the spring game. Russell was one of 9 players who practiced during the spring, but have not been added to the online roster. What is going to happen to these players including Russell? It is all driven by the roster limits and I was unable to find the limits online.
There are different roster limits for the spring, fall camp, and during the season (and I would really appreciate if someone could show me where to find them). Our coaching staff tries to maximize those limits in order to get the best look at walk-ons. Russell and the other 8 players got an extended tryout for the team during the spring and a chance to be invited to fall camp or even rejoin the team during the season.
My guess is that Russell won't be on the roster when fall camp starts and the 25 new Freshman are added to the roster, but who knows? Parker Zellers has already proven an undersized D-lineman can find a place on this team.
98 was the last great Arizona football team. They finished 12-1 ranked fourth in the nation and may have gotten a playoff berth under today's system. They are the standard that this staff is trying to build back up to where Arizona is competing for championships.
98 is also the total number of tackles for a loss the Wildcats made last year. 19 different players had at least one tackle for a loss for a total of 356 lost yards by our opponents.
