Virginia Tech’s 2016 class was mostly recruited by Frank Beamer’s final staff.  However, Justin Fuente’s staff came in and managed to retain most of those prospects, and they also added a few of their own, such as quarterback Jerod Evans.

That class has been on campus for about one calendar year.  Today we’ll take a look at each individual and see how much progress has been made over the last 12 months.  My initial thought is that it’s going to turn out to be a pretty good class.  But do the facts back up my thoughts?

Quarterback Jerod Evans: Evans was Justin Fuente’s first major recruit.  He was the No. 1 JUCO quarterback prospect in the country.  He set numerous Virginia Tech records during his short stint in Blacksburg.

Quarterback Josh Jackson: Jackson competed for the starting quarterback job as a true freshman, and he’s doing so again as a redshirt-freshman.  If somebody like AJ Bush or Hendon Hooker beats him out, they will have beaten out a pretty good player.  So far he looks like a very good get for the Hokies.
