Positions excluded for unlimited players exceeding the maximum ball carrier limit include all offensive backfield positions, all eligible receivers and tight end positions, and any position not on the first line of a special teams formation. Exceptions include the offensive positions of center, punter, and placekicker.

He may not play in the 100lb division unless he weighs at least 101 pounds. See the official rule-book for additional information.
