It was announced in February that Stewart would be replacing longtime Alabama play-by-play announcer Eli Gold.
Jon Johnson As Chris Stewart embarks on his first full season as the new voice of Alabama Crimson Tide football, there’s nobody he’d rather have as his sidekick than color analyst Tyler Watts.
“In various roles we did the postgame show together for years and we started doing high school games together. “It literally was a dream come true,” Stewart said. “When I was given the opportunity to fill in for Eli two years ago, it was so special. It’s still a surreal thing to think that 5-year-old boy growing up in Fairfield, Alabama, who listened to John Forney call games is now sitting in the John Forney seat.”
Watts is certainly a familiar face and voice as well to Alabama fans. He was a quarterback at Alabama from 1999 to 2002 and has also served a variety of roles on the CTSN.“We did over 120 games together,” Watts said. “Chris does as good a job as anybody of setting the scene, setting the play up and then giving you enough time as a color analyst to come in and kind of fill up the picture up more with the layout he has provided.
