Penn State makes the top 10 for 2024 CB Omillio Agard
Penn State made the first cut with one of Pennsylvania’s top overall prospects in the Class of 2024 Monday. Cornerback Omillio Agard from St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia cut his list of 30 scholarship offers down to 10. In addition to the Nittany Lions, it’s a deep list of schools, with Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas A&M all making the cut.
Agard’s last visit to Penn State came in May when he spent a personal day with James Franklin and his staff.
“Coach Franklin and the whole coaching staff told me I’m the top priority in the country and I’m needed at PSU,” Agard said, referring to his most recent Penn State trip. “That means a lot to me being an in-state guy and they impressed me with this visit.

“I can see myself there for sure, especially after sitting down with Coach [Manny] Diaz and watching film and talking about how I fit in their defensive scheme.”
In addition to Penn State, Agard visited other schools in the month of June. He began with a trip to Clemson on June 2. He then stayed down south, seeing Alabama on June 4 and Tennessee then June 6. Agard then went to Notre Dame and Michigan on back-to-back days, June 24-25, respectively.
Listed at 6-foot, 170 pounds, Agard is on pace to be one of the top overall prospects in Pennsylvania for the Class of 2024. He’s ranked No. 166 nationally according to the On3 Consensus. That puts him No. 18 at the cornerback position and No. 6 overall in the state of Pennsylvania.
Overall, Penn State has hosted Agard three times since last summer, which is more than any other school. Ohio State is the only other school to host him so far, although the Buckeyes were left off his top list of schools.
