The 1924 Oregon Agricultural Aggies football team represented Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University) in the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1924 college football season. Under new head coach Paul J. Schissler, the Aggies compiled a 3–5 record (1–4 in PCC, seventh) and were outscored 85 to 71.[1] Millard Scott was the team captain, and Percy Locey became the first Oregon Agricultural player to appear in an East–West Shrine Game.[2] The team played its home games on campus at Bell Field in Corvallis, Oregon.

In the early months of 1924, the college considered applications from 90 candidates for the position of head football coach. Schissler, the head coach at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois, was hired on April 1. His Lombard Olive had lost only one game in three years (to Notre Dame) and outscored opponents 800 to 69; Schissler was recommended to Oregon Agricultural by Notre Dame head coach Knute Rockne.[3]
