Headings wrapped up his junior year at West Senior, where he has made an impact as a wide receiver. He has also received offers from the Air Force Falcons and the Army Black Knights in April and an offer from the Northern Iowa Panthers in March. He ultimately went with North Dakota, his first offer from February 2025.

He was an impressive power forward for West High School and is a four-star recruit, ranked at No. 89 in the class of 2025. McCaffery will commence his first college basketball season later this year.
