Gorman also played football in 1920 with the semi-pro Evansville Ex-Collegians. When Frank Fausch established his Crimson Giants in 1921, many of the Ex-Collegians, including Gorman, stayed loyal to Ex-Collegians manager Menz Lindsey. However once Fausch gained the only lease to Bosse Field, the city's only football field, Gorman became the first Ex-Collegians, outside of Fausch and Mark Ingle, to join the team.
Outside of pro football, Gorman worked as a dentist.
