The South African native was selected in 2007 to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference second team after finishing his senior season with one goal and seven assists – good for second on the Rhode Island squad. A year before he earned the A-10 Championship Most Outstanding Player award when he helped the Rams to a 2-0 win over St. Louis University in the championship game. That season, the 2004 A-10 rookie of the year finished with two goals and five assists. Borman totalled 7 goals, 16 assists while playing in 83 games in four seasons with Rhode Island. During the 2006 and 2007 season Borman also played for the Rhode Island Stingrays in the Premier Development League. In 2006 he led the Stingrays with 7 goals, including a hat-trick in a 6-0 victory over the Vermont Voltage on July 2, 2006. Following his senior season Borman was drafted by Red Bull New York with the 7th overall pick in the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft.

Borman made his professional debut on April 5, 2008, coming on as a half time substitute against Columbus Crew. He then scored his first Major League Soccer goal against the LA Galaxy on May 10, 2008 in the 21st minute.
