The Crimson Tide Sports Network made the announcement via social media on Monday, mentioning that Wilson would be on assignment in Spain this week.

The radio broadcast will feature play-by-play from longtime Alabama Athletics broadcaster Chris Stewart and color commentary from Jones, while Roger Hoover will be reporting from the sidelines.

Receiving All-American and All-SEC honors during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, Jones also was named the winner of both the Outland and the Remington trophies during his time at the Capstone.

Kickoff for No. 3 Alabama (6-0, 3-0 SEC) at No. 6 Tennessee (5-0, 2-0) is set for 2:30 p.m.
