Aidan Chiles comes to Michigan State from Oregon State where he spent most of his time behind DJ Uiagalelei. However, in the moments that Chiles was on the field, he made the most of it. He had 309 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions completing 68.6% of his passes. He also added 79 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground to his stats.

Chiles has both a good strong arm and great mobility which makes him a big threat for opposing defenses. However, he did face and succumb to a lot of pressure in his time with the Beavers, so if the offensive line does not protect him, they could be playing from behind a lot.
