However, Chiles hasn't been able to get past being a decent starter so far. In his sophomore season with the Spartans, he threw for 2,415 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions on 323 attempts. His junior season was a step back, as he threw for just 1,392 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions in 203 dropbacks before getting benched. Michigan State went 8-12 in Chiles' tenure, and with the Spartans firing Smith at the end of the season, Chiles entered the transfer portal.
Chiles transferred to Northwestern on Jan. 6, 2026, and he'll make his debut in the purple and silver on Sep. 5. He will be a centerpiece of the new-look offense with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and quarterbacks coach Jerry Neuheisel.
