I am trying to find ubuntu-restricted-extras in USC for 16.04 but no luck. Has it been re-named? Can the individual items still be found on USC?

Do you have the multiverse repo enabled? It shows up there on my xenial system.
Here's the output of apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras
:

Got it with synaptic. That output shows for me too now. However, I don't see it visually with "search your computer" – Jodamo117 Aug 06 '16 at 00:42

Try using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
or use Synaptic
instead. The package is there.

Synaptic worked but I can't "see" it in "search my computer" The same goes for VirtualBox5.02 and the extension package. – Jodamo117 Aug 06 '16 at 00:45
