[1] He was named A-10 Rookie of the Year in 2004, finishing with two goals and five assists. He earned the A-10 Championship Most Outstanding Player Award after helping the Rams to a 2–0 win over St. Louis University in the 2006 Championship Game, and was selected to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference second team in 2007 after finishing his senior season with one goal and seven assists.

Borman was drafted with the 7th overall pick in the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft by New York Red Bulls. He made his professional debut on 5 April 2008, coming on as a half time substitute against Columbus Crew. He scored his first Major League Soccer goal against the Los Angeles Galaxy on 10 May 2008, and ended his first season in MLS appearing in 15 matches and scoring two goals.
