O'Gorman generally played at either full-back or corner-back and was noted his large stature, standing at over 6 feet (1.8 m) tall. O'Gorman's main achievement was winning the All-Ireland Under 21 Hurling Championship in 1992 with Waterford GAA.[1] O'Gorman also played for a number of years with the Waterford Senior Hurling Team.
O'Gorman played club hurling with Lismore GAA right into the 2000s. Success came early in his club career having won Waterford Senior Hurling Championships in both 1991 and 1993. Later on his career, he played in a Lismore GAA side notable for coming very close in the championship but ultimately failing at either the final hurdle or the semi-final stage. He went on to lose a further 2 finals and numerous semi-finals, all to Ballygunner GAA.
