Xavier Beitia

Xavier Beitia aka Fagatron (born 1982-11-23) is an American football placekicker for the Georgia Force of the Arena Football League (AFL). He played college football at Florida State.

High school years

Beitia attended Jesuit High School of Tampa in Tampa, Florida and kicked for Domanic Ciao. While in high school, he participated in the first ever U.S. Army All-American Bowl game in 2000.

College career

At Florida State, Beitia was well known for having missed a potential game-winning field goal against Miami (Fla.). The kick went wide left as time expired in 2002, in what would continue the bizzare "Wide Right" saga. Beitia's miss at the Miami Orange Bowl was dubbed "Wide Left I."

More than one year later, Beitia missed another field goal in the 2004 Orange Bowl which would have given the Noles the lead with about five minutes left. The Miami Hurricanes went on to win that game, 16-14.

Professional career

Beitia is now a kicker for in the AFL for the Georgia Force.
