Bolus?

My daughter caught this guy a few days ago and was wanting to know if that is a food bolus that the spider has made (brown ball under the spider)? She has been giving it small crickets but wasn't sure if he is actually eating them.
Doesn’t look like any wolf spider I have ever seen. Kind of looks like a false widow. How big is it? Any webbing attempts been made?
 
@MrGhostMantis Around an inch (that's a water bottle cap next to the spider). We are in North Carolina. It has made some webbing around the perimeter of the container, just the lines you can see in the image.
 
Front view? I want to see the eyes. The legs don’t really have the bulkyness of a wolf spider. Has it not hunted at all?
 
It does have lycosidae eyes. It isn’t a Hogna...might be a giant house spider or a grass spider species. I will keep looking...
