Where each SEC team currently stands regarding June 8 return to voluntary workouts
The SEC approved on Friday a plan to allow teams to have athletes return to campuses on June 8 for voluntary workouts.
Quickly, a number of the 14 schools in the conference hopped on board with the plan, followed by others. But there are still a couple of holdouts for the plan.
As you can see below, 9 teams announced plans to return shortly after the announcement was made public by the SEC:

Vanderbilt remains TBD as it continues to follow the university's "return to campus plan."

After those tweets, Mississippi State and Ole Miss both issued statements indicating they’d welcome athletes back on June 8:

That leaves Kentucky and Vanderbilt as the only 2 SEC schools not to officially announce a decision at this time. We’ll see what happens with those schools moving forward.
