High school career
Gorham attended Calvert Hall College High School in Towson, Maryland. A three-star recruit, he committed to playing college basketball for Towson.[1] He was drawn to the program in part due to its proximity, allowing him to be close to his father, who had been diagnosed with duodenal cancer.[2]
