Welcome in, latest episode of that SEC podcast.

I'm your host, Michael Braden.

Go by SEC Mike on Twitter's.

I just realized, Steven, I should probably update that intro for when you're on it.

Because cousin Shane's face.

I don't want to fool people but simply looking at the

screen you know that is stephen last and senior editor over at athlaught sports stephen how are you my

friend mike i'm doing good uh to be honest with you Shane's a better draw than I am so maybe we can

get some more uh people streaming in here to to watch tonight's show so shout out to cousin

Shane I hope he's doing well to start this week but Mike two SEC teams in the final four

spring practice going on we got the draft coming up so it's not too bad in the sports world right

it never is Stephen it never is and football is never far our mind. So what we're going to do on this episode, Stephen and I always get together before and kind of discuss, I mean, Steve has got a dang encyclopedia of topics he wants to hit on. But this one was actually my idea for this week. And the theme is breakout players, players on the rise, however you want to break that down.

And I really wanted to kind of focus on players that I assume the diehard fans will know these players on their team,

but the rest of the SEC fan basis probably don't have a firm understanding of who these players are.

But by the end of the season, I think everybody in the SEC will know the vast majority of the names that were about to tackle.

Does that make sense, Stephen?

It does,

Mike. This was hard, too. I mean, I, I always struggle with the definition of like on the rise

breakout player because I think you and I, we watch all these teams. We're digesting all 16 team

rosters. And, you know, it's like, is that guy a breakout? Is he really? And you're trying to gauge,

like, what maybe what, uh, each fan breakout? Is he really, and you're trying to gauge like what,

maybe what each fan base is knowing about other teams. So I'm excited to see your picks,
