That was the only highlight, however, for Dorman and now local fans will once again have a chance to watch the talented player.
Frustrated with a lack of playing time, Dorman recently transferred to Bowie State, where he will compete for the Bulldogs' starting job.
"Harold was tired of not playing and didn't want to waste his time doing that," Potomac Coach Eric Knight said. "They wanted to move him to receiver. He called me and said, 'Coach, I want to play. I'm tired of sitting.' " Bowie State and Virginia State offered scholarships, Knight said, and Dorman chose the Bulldogs to be closer to home and have a chance to play soon.
"I think it's a good move for Harold," Knight said. "If he could have sat out another year, I could have had him something real nice [on the Division I-A level] but I understand what he wants to do."
The Bulldogs also signed four local high school players: defensive lineman Ryan Brooks and quarterback Davon Gray of Douglass and offensive lineman James Hardaway and defensive back William Johnson of Gwynn Park. Kicker John Riley, from Eleanor Roosevelt, transferred from Cheyney University.
At Potomac, Knight said that cornerback Ollie Thomas signed with Towson and quarterback James Nickens, who started on the Wolverines' consecutive state title teams, likely will sign with St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, N.C.
Linebacker Adrian McLeod and running back Antoinial Coles expect to attend Hargrave Military Academy for a year of prep school as they need to improve their college board scores, Knight said.
Two Sign
Among football players recently signing letters-of-intent, Lee quarterback Greg Jones signed with Bucknell. He rushed for 905 yards and nine touchdowns this past season, his second as a starter.
Also, Riverdale Baptist center Mike Lacey signed with Hampton. It was quite an accomplishment, former Riverdale coach Kervin Wyatt said, as Lacey dropped 60 pounds over the past year. At 6 feet 3, Lacey went from 375 pounds as a junior to 315 pounds by the start of this past season.
"He did a heck of a job," said Wyatt, who recently resigned after five seasons at the Upper Marlboro school. "Just hard work. Running track, serious dieting. He just wanted it really bad."
