Inside 2024’s Transfer Quarterbacks: Who’s Dominating, Who’s Struggling, and Why Uiagalelei’s Story Will Surprise You
It’s not worth pretending that Chiles has been some sort of star so far. He’s tossed eight interceptions in five games, tied for the second most in FBS, and even his non-intercepted passes have only been so good.
He’s averaged 5.9 adjusted yards per throw, which ranks 92nd. (Adjusted yardage penalizes interceptions, and well, Chiles’ 7.6% pickable pass rate has gotten him into trouble.) His 69.7% well-thrown rate is the Big Ten’s worst mark among qualified passers.
I am still a believer. Chiles has a serious arm, and he’s averaging a ridiculous 12.0 air yards per throw. That leads all FBS starters, and Chiles has made some throws that, if you’ve watched him, will make him incredibly hard to quit.
