At the age of two, Aidan Chiles took rabbits out of the hats. Bet you can’t guess that the rabbits here stand for a miniature Nerf football. To the surprise of his parents, he threw a spiral like a pro. That moment, among many others, was an indicator that he would always say ‘bring it on’ to the challenges like he recently did by managing to secure No. 3 in the 1–5 corridor’s series on the new faces of football.
How intriguing a journey it would have been for his parents to watch him transform into a young sportsman. The family has lived in Long Beach, CA, where Aidanan was born and brought up along with his two brothers. Now that he is a quarterback for Michigan State, let’s dive into the frame of his story through his parents’ lens.

Nikki Chiles, the mother, is an administrator who works in education. She has a lot of experience teaching in the classroom. Since Aidan has always been close to his mother, she is the one who knows him better than anyone. She talks about an incident when her son got enrolled in a swimming class that made an exception for him while looking at his quick adaptability skills; otherwise, children of his age were restricted. In another insight, a neighbor of theirs saw Aidan smoothly landing a jump from the wall and confronted Nikki, saying that her son has some great athletic skills. He had a history of creating exceptions, and he once again proved it as a 17-year-old four-star freshman.

High School and college Journey
Aidan started his football journey at Oregon State, where he was a four-star prospect for the class of 2023. 247Sports ranked as one of the best quarterbacks in the nation and one of the top overall prospects in the state of California. Emerging as the third-best dual-threat QB in the country by rivals, no wonder he got enrolled despite being younger than everyone in his class. His mother believes that the way he plays should be counted and not just age, which happened when he got selected in his freshman year at Oregon State at the age of 17.
Aidan Chiles has proved himself to be a valuable player, as he finished the year with 68.6 percent. While having four touchdowns and zero interceptions in nine games. On top of that, he gained 79 yards on the ground on 17 carries. During games, he performed well and made his team win against Standford, Colorado, and UCLA, and completed a season-high nine passes on 13 attempts for 74 yards during a game against the UC Devis. NCAA fans believe that he is a natural leader from what they have seen over the past few years and bet on him becoming an amazing captain someday.
