STORRS, Conn.—The University of Connecticut says freshman Jamal Coombs-McDaniel has received clearance to play from the NCAA Eligibility Center.

Coombs-McDaniel missed Connecticut's two exhibition games while awaiting approval by the NCAA, which was reviewing his academic qualifications.

The freshman forward will dress for the first time Friday when the No. 12 Huskies open the season at home against William & Mary.
