LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV was informed Tuesday by the NCAA that its Season Of Competition waiver request for men's basketball student-athlete Cody Doolin has been approved.

Doolin, a 6-foot-3-inch, 180-pound point guard from Austin, Texas, transferred to UNLV from San Francisco in the spring. He graduated from USF in May with a bachelor's degree in finance, playing three full seasons (2010-13) for the Dons before playing in just four games last year.

With the waiver approval by the NCAA's Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee, Doolin has been awarded his senior year of eligibility back. UNLV will now wait to hear on its request for a transfer residency waiver. If that is approved by the NCAA, Doolin will be eligible to compete during the 2014-15 season.

"We are very happy for Cody," Runnin' Rebel head coach Dave Rice said. "He has a tremendous amount of experience as a point guard and he has become a leader in our program."

A two-time All-West Coast Conference honorable mention selection, Doolin was also twice named to the league's all-academic team and earned Capital One Academic All-District VIII honors as a junior (2012-13). At USF, he started all 103 games he appeared in and scored over 1,000 points. He also dished out 451 assists (4.4 apg) and has a career assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.2.

In high school he was named Central Texas' Player of the Year after leading Westlake High to a district title. He was also twice named his district's MVP and graduated as the school's all-time scoring and assist leader.
