Aidan Chiles transfers from Oregon State to Michigan State, joining coach Smith

Former Oregon State quarterback Aidan Chiles has announced his transfer to Michigan State, reuniting with coach Jonathan Smith. Chiles, who played under Smith during his freshman season, cited his affinity for the coaching staff, familiarity with the offensive system, and the opportunity to compete on a bigger stage in the Big Ten as reasons for his decision. With all of Michigan State's scholarship quarterbacks entering the transfer portal, Chiles provides a foundational player for Smith to build around and attract recruits. Chiles, who showcased dual-threat ability during his time at Oregon State, is immediately eligible and has three years of eligibility remaining.
