A.J. McCarron’s brother transferring to Tide

Corey McCarron confirmed to the Birmingham News that he will be transferring from South Alabama to the Tide next month. The younger McCarron said the overriding factor in the move was the presence of his brother and the possibility of playing football with him again.

“I missed playing with AJ,” Corey told the paper. “That’s something I always wanted to do. The two years I played with him [in high school] I loved it. Deep down, I wanted to play with AJ.

“You only live once. I want to play with him before my playing days are over.”

Corey McCarron was listed as a tight end for the Jaguars as a freshman last season, but did not see any playing time. He will have to sit out the 2012 season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules.
