Texas A&M Head Football Coach R.C. Slocum announced today that Mike Pinesette (pronounced PINE-set), a senior defensive back from LaMarque, Texas, has been dismissed from the team for violating team rules.
Pinesette transferred to Texas A&M last year from Blinn Junior College. He played mainly on special teams for the Aggies and recorded seven tackles in 2000.
