Michigan State football will face 3 former Spartan starting QBs in 2026

On Tuesday afternoon, rumors were swirling about Aidan Chiles potentially transferring within the Big Ten.

The former Michigan State football QB1 decided to enter the transfer portal this offseason after Alessio Milivojevic replaced him and Pat Fitzgerald was hired. When the transfer portal opened, he was receiving some interest, but one program stood out above the rest: Northwestern.

Chip Kelly wanted to try his hand at turning Chiles into a legit NFL quarterback, and the former Oregon State transfer made it official on Wednesday.

After his commitment to Northwestern, Chiles marks the second former Spartan QB1 to find a new home this offseason.
