He was one of the team's two captains in 1933.
During the 1933 season, Gorman's father wrote a letter to Notre Dame Vice President John Francis O'Hara, complaining that "[t]here is something radically wrong" with Hunk Anderson's coaching, blaming the younger Gorman for losses.

James Bacon recounts a story implicating the mob in the Rockne's death that he heard with "Kitty" Gorman from Father John Reynolds when Bacon and Gorman were students at Notre Dame.After his college playing career, Gorman played in the first Chicago College All-Star Game, tying the Chicago Bears.
