Ray Agnew III enters his 10th season with the New York Jets and his second as a college scout, following six seasons as a pro scout. Agnew got his start with the Jets as a seasonal assistant in the player personnel department. In his role, Agnew covers the West Coast for the organization.

Prior to making the switch to college scouting, Agnew served as a pro scout, where he assisted in the day-to-day logistics of the pro personnel department, monitoring league transactions, evaluating players during final cuts and free agency, while also assisting in the weekly advance report for the coaching staff.

This offseason, in his first draft as a college scout, Agnew was part of a scouting staff that delivered three first round picks for just the third time in franchise history, with the selections of EDGE David Bailey, tight end Kenyon Sadiq, and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr.

Before the Jets, Agnew worked at the Elite Football Academy in St. Louis, helping prepare and train high school football players for potential college football careers.

A former player himself, Agnew played in 12 games (nine starts) with the Cleveland Browns (2014), before spending time with Dallas in the offseason and the Washington practice squad the following year. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent after appearing in 36 games for Southern Illinois (2009-13), where he graduated with a bachelor's in business management.

A native of St. Louis, MO, Agnew and his wife, Kelsey, now reside in Texas with their daughter, Noah Sinclair. The son of Kathy and Ray, his father was an 11-year veteran with New England, the Giants, and St. Louis and currently serves as the assistant general manager for the Detroit Lions. Agnew has two brothers also in football, Malcolm, who serves as the running backs coach at Stanford and Keenan, a pro scout with the Tennessee Titans.
