Yes, but why would a person be transformed into a wolf for being evil? Then again, CTA is described in the legend - and contemporary records- as very cruel and irreligious, although he wasn't a pagan- Wiki even says "The wife-beating giant Cormoran (from "Jack the Giant-Killer", which is probably related to "Jack and the Beanstalk", both are English fairy tales about boys named Jack who kill giants) may also retain a garbled folk memory of the same character".
