ESPN announced Wednesday that Greg McElroy has a new college football assignment this fall.

Sports Illustrated was the first to report the news.

The former Alabama quarterback – and host of “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” on WJOX in Birmingham – will join Sean McDonough and reporter Molly McGrath on ESPN’s ”Saturday Night Primetime.”

McElroy, who recently signed a long-term contract extension with ESPN, enters his eighth season calling games for ESPN and ABC.

An AL.com call to McElroy was not immediately returned.

In addition, former Florida Gators quarterback Jesse Palmer returns to the booth, joining play-by-play voice Joe Tessitore and sideline reporter Katie George. Palmer, now in his 16th season at ESPN, previously served as a color analyst for ESPN Thursday Night College Football.

Once again, Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and reporter Holly Rowe will team up to call the weekly ABC Saturday Night Football. The 2023 season marks Fowler and Herbstreit’s 10th year in the booth together and their 28th season as college football teammates, beginning in 1996 on College GameDay.

SEC Network will continue its SEC Saturday Night trio of Tom Hart, Jordan Rodgers and former Auburn standout Cole Cubelic for the seventh consecutive season. Rodgers returns to “SEC Nation” this fall as well.

Among the other announcements:

• Bob Wischusen and Robert Griffin III will be joined by Kris Budden on ABC and ESPN. Wischusen, a college football, basketball, golf and NHL voice for ESPN, is also the New York Jets radio voice. Griffin III, the 2011 Heisman Trophy winner and a 2023 Sports Emmy nominee, contributes to ESPN’s year-round college and NFL coverage.
• Dave Pasch and Dusty Dvoracek will call games together for the third consecutive season.
• Mark Jones and Louis Riddick are a new pairing for Saturdays on ABC and ESPN this fall. Jones has served as a college football commentator and leading NBA play-by-play voice for more than three decades. Riddick, who is synonymous with ESPN’s NFL game, studio and NFL Draft coverage, readies for his third college football campaign and will continue to call select Monday Night Football games.
• Dave Flemming welcomes new teammates as analyst Brock Osweiler shifts to ESPN and ABC, joined by ESPN newcomer Kayla Burton. Osweiler, a former NFL quarterback and Arizona State standout, recently signed an extension with ESPN.
