Jacoby Jones is taking his Super Bowl victory dance to Dancing With the Stars.

The football star, whose record-setting kick return helped the Baltimore Ravens defeat the San Francisco 49ers in this year's Super Bowl, has been tapped to join the upcoming 16th season of ABC's dance competition.

News of the 28-year-old Jones joining the DWTS crew was first announced in a promo spot that aired during Sunday night's Oscars telecast.

The Pro Bowl wide receiver, who became the first player ever to score a receiving touchdown and return touchdown in a Super Bowl, previously told Jimmy Kimmel Live! when asked about the possibility of appearing on the show: "Oh, yes sir, I'll get it done, baby."

No word who his dance partner is just yet. The full Dancing With the Stars cast will be unveiled Tuesday on Good Morning AmerIca.
