Before committing to Butler, McCaffery was selected as Iowa’s 2024-25 Gatorade State Player of the Year. He was also named to the First-Team All-State by the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association after his senior year at Iowa West High School. McCaffery led West High School with 3.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 7.3 rebounds per game in his senior campaign.

He becomes the third McCaffery to join the Bulldogs after his older brothers, Connor McCaffery and Patrick McCaffery. Connor spent his entire college basketball career at Iowa before picking up an appointment as a Butler assistant coach. Patrick finished his career with the Bulldogs last season, after transferring from the Hawkeyes.

Jada Gyamfi reveals Iowa's quirky team tradition

Iowa women's basketball star Jada Gyamfi revealed a team tradition that may come as a surprise to many Hawkeye fans. In the Hawkeyes' media availability following the team's summer practice in July, Gyamfi admitted to being the leader of a long-standing locker room tradition, which she inherited from former Hawkeyes guard Kate Martin.

The Hawkeye senior forward revealed that she pranked unsuspecting teammates by placing fake cockroaches in their locker room stalls, personal belongings and even throwing them following workouts.

"Okay, so I have fake cockroaches in my locker. They have been passed down for many years," Gyamfi said. "So Kate had them when I got here, and I took them from Kate when she left. So that's my go-to prank. Cockroach in your shoe.

"If you bring a backpack in, you might find a couple of fake cockroaches in there. Or sometimes, when everyone's really tired after weights or something, I'll just grab one and throw it and see if anyone notices. It's really funny."

Gyamfi also said she believed the tradition started with Martin and has been ongoing for the past eight years.
