Versatile 6-9 freshman forward working back from a health setback
McCaffery is a big, skilled freshman forward who gives Butler lineup flexibility with his size, passing feel and ability to defend multiple frontcourt spots. In the 2025-26 season, he averaged 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 9.4 minutes per game before a medical redshirt/health interruption, and reports note he lost about 15 pounds after emergency dental surgery, which helps explain the limited production. His appeal is upside: he has shown he can handle the ball, make simple reads and impact scrappy minutes, making him a fit for teams that value versatile depth over instant scoring punch.
