Pitre’s red-shirt denied

UCLA fullback Michael Pitre had his petition for a sixth year of eligibility denied, meaning his college eligibility is over. Here is a release from UCLA, which includes a few other notes:

Wide receivers Marcus Everett and Gavin Ketchum have had their petitions for a substitute year of eligibility due to injury approved. Everett will be a fifth-year senior for the 2008 season while Ketchum will be a fourth-year junior.

Defensive tackle Brigham Harwells petition is still pending.

Michael Pitres petition was denied. Pitre has hired an agent (Mike Abadir of SAPROS Sports Management) and will be working out in anticipation of the 2008 NFL Draft, hoping to be selected or sign as a free agent based on his workouts..
