The list of incoming Alabama freshmen who could enroll early is growing.

Two more high school seniors signed the necessary financial paperwork to allow for January arrivals in Tuscaloosa. Tight end Major Tennison and long snapper Thomas Fletcher joined three other high school seniors and two JUCO players who signed letters of intent Wednesday.

Five-star linebacker Dylan Moses, athlete Chadarius Townsend and cornerback Kyriq McDonald have also reportedly signed the grant-in-aid paperwork that's often a precursor to early enrollment. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, running back Najee Harris, receiver Jerry Jeudy and offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood are also among those expected to start classes in January.

Tennison is set to arrive at Alabama just as O.J. Howard finishes his time with the Tide. The Bullard, Texas product brings a 6-foot-6, 240-pound frame to Alabama as a four-star recruit ranked 10th among tight ends in the 247Sports Composite. Tennison committed to Alabama in October after backing out of a pledge to Texas in July.

Fletcher fills an important need coming from the same IMG Academy program as Moses. Four-year starting long snapper Cole Mazza is finishing his career and Alabama carries one scholarship player at that position at a time. Fletcher is the No. 2 ranked long snapper in the 247Sports composite and committed to Alabama in June.

The high school early graduates will join two top-rated JUCO transfers who signed letters of intent Wednesday. Four-star offensive tackle Elliot Baker made it official along with five-star defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs.

The grant-in-aid paperwork isn't quite as binding as the national letter of intent. Players can still back out at this point, but it also allows unlimited contact with the school ahead of enrollment.

Alabama has the No. 1 class in the 2017 rankings on 247Sports, well ahead of No. 2 Ohio State.
