After losing three quarterbacks to the transfer portal, Michigan State was in desperate need of a new team leader in Chiles.
According to ESPN, the California native threw for 309 yards during his freshman season, rushed for 79 yards and logged three rushing and four passing touchdowns.
Chiles is a young duel-threat quarterback who played in nine games during this past season, posting a 7-2 record, only losing to Washington and Arizona. He had a high of 75 yards in Oregon State's game against Stanford.
