Aidan Chiles (born September 12, 2005) is an American college football quarterback who is currently in the transfer portal, having most recently played for the Michigan State Spartans. He previously played for the Oregon State Beavers.
Early life
[edit]Chiles attended Downey High School in Downey, California.[1] As a senior, he passed for 3,350 yards and 38 touchdowns with five interceptions.[2] He was selected to play in the 2023 All-American Bowl. Chiles committed to Oregon State University to play college football.[3][4]
College career
[edit]Oregon State
[edit]Chiles competed with DJ Uiagalelei and Ben Gulbranson for the starting job his first year at Oregon State in 2023.[5][6] Uiagalelei won the competition with Chiles appearing in games as a backup.[7] He entered the transfer portal on December 4, 2023.[8]
Michigan State
[edit]On December 14, 2023, Chiles announced that he would be transferring to Michigan State, following his head coach Jonathan Smith.[9]
Midway through the 2025 season, in an overtime loss to Minnesota, Chiles was benched in favor of Alessio Milivojevic for poor performance, as the Spartans had been on a six-game losing streak at that point.[10] Following the season, with Smith fired, Chiles entered the transfer portal for a second time.[11]
