Where Are They Now: A Look at the Top 10 Virginia 'Croots Since 2016

In the UNC Post-Game commiseration thread, Fireman and GGC asked to take a look at Virginia's Top 10 recruits every year since 2016 (The Fu Era, if you will). I said it would take some time to get done, thinking I'd have it in time for ESD, but I got it done much earlier than anticipated, so without any further ado, let's get into the classes.

Author's Note: I am using the 247 in house rankings, not the composite nor Rivals.

First off, how many of the 60 recruits on the list achieved enough in college to go on to the NFL?
2016: 3
2017: 5
2018: 1
2019+: 1

That's 10 out of 60, for a 16% NFL sniff. 3 of them suited up in Maroon and Orange

Of the 60, how many were medically or academically retired from football before the end of their senior year?
As of this writing, 10, two Hokies on that list

How many were career backups?
35

How many were starters?
25

How many transferred to P5 programs?
6

How many transferred to G5 schools?
4

How many transferred to FCS or lower schools?
3

Recent Contributions:
Only 7 recruits in the last three classes have gone on to become regular starters. 3 in that same timeframe have yet to play a snap.

Other tidbits:
The lowest rated players were given a rating of 88
A total of 7 had ratings of lower than 90
49 were rated between 97-90 (4*)
4 were rated 98 or higher (5*), both who finished their eligibility made it into the pro's but only one was drafted.
