Former Oregon State quarterback Aidan Chiles is transferring to Michigan State, he told ESPN, a move that reconnects him with new Spartans coach Jonathan Smith.
Chiles, who hails from Southern California, visited in recent days and decided to commit to Smith, the coach who recruited him out of high school and whom he played for during one promising season at Oregon State in 2023.
Chiles is immediately eligible and has three years of eligibility remaining, giving an immediate offensive identity to Smith's tenure at Michigan State.
Chiles will enroll immediately and arrive in early January. With all of Michigan State's scholarship quarterbacks entering the transfer portal, Chiles' commitment gives Smith a bedrock player to build around and pitch recruits to play with.
