A 2000 graduate of Green Mountain College (GMC), Norwood played four years on the men's basketball team, where he was named to the All- Conference in 1999 and 2000. A three-year starter at GMC, Norwood starred on three conference championship teams and made three trips to the NAIA national tournament. During his time at Green Mountain he was instrumental in the team recording a record of 53-4. He is currently the all-time career leader in assists and steals at Green Mountain.
