"We don't mind having a big camp to be honest. It increases the competition and with a green vs white game in November so that will be good to have the numbers and see what the new guys can do against guys who have been in the league for a number of years and our core group," said General Manager Derek Keenan.
Charlie McFadden has been placed on the Draft List as he will attend Fairfield University this fall for his grad year. The Rush will retain his rights, and he will become eligible to sign next year.
