After getting praise from some national analysts, Aidan Chiles has received some high praise from his offensive coordinator.

The hype surrounding Aidan Chiles at Michigan State continues to grow. A few days ago, some college football analysts as well as a former teammate were sharing their excitement for Chiles as his MSU career begins.

Now Chiles’ offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren weighed in about his excitement for him as well.

Brian Lindgren talks excitement for Aidan Chiles

Lindgren coached with Jonathan Smith the last six years at Oregon State before joining him at Michigan State. This means that Lindgren has already worked with Chiles his freshman year at Oregon State. So Brian already knows a lot about Aidan and what makes the hype surrounding him so real.

Brian recently shared that “When he (Aidan) gets going, he’s one of the more talented guys that I’ve been around.”

That quote says a lot as Lindgren has been an offensive coordinator for 15 years. He’s been around many quarterbacks in his career, so for Chiles to already be one of the most talented at his age is extremely exciting.

Lindgren went on to further talk about what makes Aidan so great. We all know that Aidan has elite talent on the field, but it’s also his mindset that separates him from everyone else as well.

“Aidan’s got a really cool personality, I think it’s something we’re always looking for while recruiting QBs, that moxie, that ‘it’ factor we talk about, to have that confidence and that swagger to the way he plays.”

Hearing Lindgren share this about Chiles as well as the previous comments from national analysts only makes me more excited. I have a good feeling he will be special at Michigan State. It’s been a while since MSU’s had elite quarterback play. But by the sounds of it Chiles could be the next great one.

We still have a while until the season starts, but spring practice and the spring showcase are almost here. So we won’t have to wait much longer to start seeing practice highlights from Aidan Chiles.
