Aidan Chiles has special request during Michigan State official visit

Top Michigan State quarterback target Aidan Chiles had a special request for his official visit this weekend.

Jonathan Smith’s first recruiting weekend of his Michigan State tenure is officially underway and the biggest name on campus is obviously Oregon State quarterback transfer Aidan Chiles.

The former top-100 prospect is expected to follow his head coach to East Lansing and be Michigan State’s QB1 next year with Katin Houser, Sam Leavitt, and Noah Kim all transferring out. He would likely have the job sewn up if he committed this weekend.

But one thing must happen before the No. 1 quarterback in the transfer portal picks the Spartans: he must hang out with Zeke the Wonderdog.

I need to see @MSUZeke when I touch down‼️

Before anything else happens, Chiles wants to see Zeke. The best part about this whole thing is that he already knows who Zeke is and he knows how beloved the Wonderdog is by Michigan State fans.

The tweet blew up overnight and it even drew a response from Zeke himself:

💚💚And I would love to
see you my friend! @ai6an_
Challenge Accepted!💚💚#GoGreen https://t.co/p6WbBqY1CP

Chiles is a Zeke fan which already makes him a Spartan in my eyes. All we need now is a picture of him with Zeke or a video of him tossing a frisbee to the pup for a touchdown in Spartan Stadium. If that happens, I can all but guarantee that Chiles will be a Spartan.

This is an important visit for Chiles and the Spartans because if he likes what he sees, he could legitimately commit while on campus. And having his star tight end Jack Velling in town with him will help. The familiarity with Smith and the offensive coaches can’t hurt, either.

Let’s hope that the coaching staff lobs one up for Zeke and he slams it home, landing Chiles with a single frisbee toss.

This has to be one of the coolest recruit/transfer interactions that I can remember.
