Patrick McCaffery will join the Butler basketball program for the upcoming 2024-25 season after signing a financial aid agreement.
 
McCaffery, a 6-9 forward, will have a single season of eligibility at Butler after previously earning his undergraduate degree and transferring from Iowa.
 
"Patrick has played in multiple NCAA Tournaments and in really high-level games in the Big Ten; that experience will serve our program well over the next season," said Butler coach Thad Matta. "He brings a high basketball IQ and has obviously been well-coached. As we build our program, players and leaders like Patrick are exactly what we need."
 
He arrives at Butler with 1,044 career points from his 123 career games at Iowa. That includes 61 starts as a Hawkeye while playing for his father, head coach Fran. McCaffery has 52 double-figure scoring games in his career, including seven 20-point outings.
 
During the 2023-24 season, McCaffery averaged 8.9 points per game along with 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists while playing 23 minutes per game.
 
A cancer survivor, McCaffery was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2014 and beat it prior to beginning his career at the University of Iowa.
 
2024-25 Butler men's basketball season tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks.
