The Southeastern Conference spring meetings will be held in person for the time since 2019 in a little less than two weeks.
It is unlikely two of the SEC's superstar coaches will be chumming around Destin, Florida, together.
A look at Southeastern Conference players who appear poised to have breakout seasons:
SEC EAST

History shows how tough it is to win again in the rematch.
Nick Saban knows that first-hand — from the losing side.
HOUSTON (AP) — Deuce Vaughn and the Kansas State Wildcats finished a streaky season on a positive note Tuesday night with a dominant 42-20 win over short-handed LSU in the Texas Bowl.

A look at Week 13 in the Southeastern Conference:
GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 8 Mississippi (9-2, 5-2) at Mississippi State (7-4, 4-3), Thursday night.
Florida has been added to the lengthy list of schools looking for a head coach that already includes LSU and USC.
On the latest AP Top 25 College Football Podcast, Bruce Feldman from Fox joins the AP's Ralph Russo to discuss who is going to fill all these jobs.
Bryce Young, Alabama’s Heisman Trophy-contending quarterback, hasn’t ever started against Auburn.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The reeling LSU Tigers are getting a needed break from the grind of their Southeastern Conference schedule.
Having lost three straight and on the brink of elimination from bowl contention, the Tigers (4-6) host Louisiana-Monroe (4-6) of the increasingly formidable Sun Belt Conference on Saturday night.
Auburn's chances for a Southeastern Conference title fell apart the last two games. The Tigers will look to bounce back at South Carolina with a new quarterback after Bo Nix's injury.
