College Football Report put out a rankings list of the top Big Ten quarterbacks entering next season, and Chiles was in the upper third of the league. Chiles came in at No. 6 on the list — which is notable since only Miller Moss of USC was the only first-time starter ahead of him on this list.

Chiles transferred to Michigan State from Oregon State to follow new head coach Jonathan Smith. Chiles played in nine games last year as a true freshman, throwing for 309 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for 79 yards and three touchdowns.

At the top of the list was Dillon Gabriel of Oregon, followed by Will Howard of Ohio State and Drew Allar of Penn State. Check out the complete rankings from College Football Report below:

See what odds Circa Sports has put out for MSU quarterback Aidan Chiles to win the 2024 Heisman Trophy

No Spartan has ever won the Heisman Trophy before but if you think that could change this upcoming year, then you could make a pretty penny.

That buzz has continued with Chiles being included in Circa Sports’ super early Heisman Trophy odds for the 2024 season. Chiles is currently listed by Circa Sports at +15000 — which ranks as tied at No. 29 for all quarterbacks.

It’s certainly a long shot since Chiles will be entering his first season as the presumed starter at Michigan State — but it could be worth the investment if you’re expecting big things from him this upcoming season.

LOOK: Michigan State football QB Aidan Chiles’ dad responds to team getting another QB

Aidan Chiles father, Adrian, responded to MSU getting a second QB out of the portal:

Michigan State’s new head coach Jonathan Smith made a splash in the transfer portal earlier this offseason when he landed the top rated QB in the portal, Aidan Chiles. Chiles, a former top-60 recruit comes with Smith from Oregon State.

Now, Smith has added another QB into the program, one with a lot of experience and a lot of success at the collegiate level. Tommy Schuster, a transfer from North Dakota, and a Macomb (MI) native is coming back home to play for MSU.

Chiles’ dad responded to this news via X, “Competition builds character. Experience in the room is good for all involved. Gotta Work!!!!”

The right mindset for Chiles and his family heading into spring ball.

What the experts are predicting: Sun Bowl

What’s your pick for this game?

Notre Dame and Oregon State will face each other in a Sun Bowl that already is giving a real boost to the economy of El Paso, Texas. The least these teams can do is give the locals a thriller in a sold-out stadium. With so many regulars on both sides missing, that might happen purely on accident. This will be a must-watch.

There are plentiful predictions for this game. Here are some of them:

After the news broke, social media was buzzing, and you can see some of those reactions below.
