Chiles established himself as one of the top defensive players in the ultra-competitive WCAC. He made 64 total tackles (33 solo), sacked the quarterback three times, and

Ashton had a 10+ spot jump from previous rankings up to the #2 overall spot. Chiles really came along as the season progressed, eventually taking a starting LB role and making 2nd team all WCAC as a freshman. He finished the year with 56 Tkls, 9 TFLs, 2.5 sacks and showed he can be a dominant player for GC.

With good size / build for a freshman LB and a frame Ashton has already added some good muscle and bulk since the season ended. I can see him end being a yoked up ~230lbs prospect by the time his senior year comes around. He plays fast & physical and is a strong tackler who can lay the wood. Shows quick hips & feet, able to re-direct in tight spaces to get past blockers and to the ball with pace. What I see from Ashton’s game that lead to his rise in these rankings is his high football IQ . You see him diagnose plays swiftly, take good angles to the ball and is showing the signs of being able to run & lead a defense.

Currently holding just two Power 4 offers, from in state UMD and Syracuse….I will be shocked if that number does not increase this spring/summer. The younger brother of former Good Counsel LB Aaron Chiles, Ashton is on his way to being just as strong of a prospect. I see a lot to like in Ashton’s potential in becoming an elite football player and can’t wait to see his game ramp up next season.

Ashton Chiles Ashton Chiles 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Our Lady of Good Counsel | 2028 State MD is another name you will become more familiar with for the next few years. After watching him against St. John’s, it becomes obvious why in-state school Maryland was the first to offer him. At this point of the season, Chiles has already been battle-tested. However, the fact that he’s only a freshman and is a varsity starter on one of the top teams in the region and the nation at one point is impressive. Chiles recorded a sack (resulting in a 7-yard loss) in the first quarter that forced St. John’s to punt.
