Overview
- ESPN’s Pete Thamel and On3 reported the commitment after Chiles visited Northwestern on Tuesday.
- Thamel reported Chiles was Northwestern’s No. 1 portal target and the first quarterback the staff brought to campus.
- Chiles entered the portal following Michigan State’s firing of Jonathan Smith, having previously followed Smith from Oregon State in 2024.
- Across 2024–25 at MSU, he totaled 3,807 passing yards with 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions and added 452 rushing yards and nine scores, with his 2025 season shortened by injury and a late benching.
- Michigan State is scheduled to host Northwestern in 2026, setting up a likely East Lansing reunion against his former team.
