Four of the players -- Leatherwood, Buggs, Townsend and McDonald -- were on campus and all of them but Townsend practiced with the team before the College Football Playoff National Championship Game against No. 2 Clemson on Jan. 9 in Tampa.

Ten of the 12 midyear enrollees boast four-star rankings or higher, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite ratings, while Fletcher is considered one of the top long snappers in the entire country. And with 12 days until National Signing Day, Alabama currently has 13 other commitments with several top-rated targets still on its radar.

Below is the full list of commitments along with the players' 247Sports Composite ratings.
