Four-star forward Jack McCaffery, the youngest son of Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, committed to Butler on Monday. The No. 113 ranked player in the 2025 recruiting cycle by 247Sports held offers from Bryant, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest, among others.
"They offered me a little over a year ago and stayed consistent recruiting me this summer," McCaffery told 247Sports. "They had a coach at every single one of my games this summer and I felt like they really wanted me. My brother goes there, too, and he likes it a lot so it helped my decision."
Not playing for his father was always part of McCaffery's recruiting plan. McCaffery told The Gazette earlier this year that he wanted to "try something different" after his older brothers Patrick and Connor played at Iowa under their father. Patrick played five seasons for Iowa before transferring to Butler this past offseason for his final year of eligibility.
"The offense fits me a lot," McCaffery said. "They run an interesting type of offense. ... I'll have the ball in my hands to make decisions, play open, free, fast, and shoot a lot of threes. It fits the way I want to play and I think it was the perfect fit."
McCaffery will take his official visit to Butler on Aug. 29.
