In 2007, Ogilvy moved to the United States to play college basketball for Vanderbilt University. In his collegiate debut against Austin Peay on 10 November, Ogilvy had 18 points and nine rebounds, recording the best start for a VU freshman since Phil Cox scored 30 points to open the season in the 1981–82 campaign. He was named to South Padre Invitational All-Tournament team after averaging 16.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.
