We know how the story ended, but AJ McCarron added a detail Monday that could've changed everything.

Doing an interview with Yahoo Sports Radio, the former Alabama quarterback revealed two scenarios that almost led him somewhere besides Tuscaloosa.

First, McCarron said he came closer to playing for Oklahoma than he previously indicated. The night before committing, he told his parents it would be the Sooners.

"Then I changed the next day," he told the Yahoo audience.

Five years later, McCarron's final collegiate game was a Sugar Bowl loss to Oklahoma.

McCarron, who went on to win two national championships as a starter, almost never made it to that position.

"When I got there, I thought about transferring to Ole Miss when, towards the end of my freshman year," McCarron said. "I really thought about transferring. I had to talk that over and I ended up staying and everything worked out."

No follow-up questions were asked on the radio show, but McCarron responded via Twitter when asked by AL.com why he considered leaving Alabama.

"Same reason every young kid goes through when he gets to college you just want to play right then. Nothing big at all," McCarron said.

McCarron redshirted his first season in which Alabama won the 2009 national championship. He became the primary backup to Greg McElroy in 2010 before taking over the top job from 2011-13. Top recruit Phillip Sims was set to arrive in Tuscaloosa the spring of 2010 to begin the competition that was resolved more than a year later.

Ole Miss was then coached by Houston Nutt. The Rebels would be replacing starting quarterback Jevan Snead in 2010, but McCarron would have had to sit out a year because of transfer rules.

The move likely wouldn't have been allowed to begin with. Schools rarely release players from their scholarships to play for a conference divisional rival like Ole Miss.
