Fuad Reveiz (born February 24, 1963) is a former American football placekicker who played 10 seasons in the National Football League. He was drafted in the seventh round of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. He also played for the San Diego Chargers and the Minnesota Vikings. He was a Pro Bowl selection in 1994. He played college football at Tennessee from 1981 to 1984, where he holds the school record for the longest field goal (60 yards).
Reveiz was born in Bogotá, Colombia. He moved with his family to Miami, Florida, in 1974. Reveiz played for Miami Sunset Senior High. During his sophomore season in 1978, he set a state record with a 60-yard field goal.
Reveiz was not highly recruited out of high school, and originally had planned to attend junior college. However, Tennessee coach Johnny Majors, concerned with his kickers' performance during spring practice in 1981, offered Reveiz a scholarship just prior to fall practice. Reveiz connected on 25 of 25 extra point attempts during his freshman year, and was 7 of 15 on field goal tries. He kicked a 51-yard field goal in Tennessee's win over Memphis State, which at the time was the fifth-longest in school history. Two weeks later, he kicked a last-second 28-yard field goal to give Tennessee a 24-21 win over Wichita State. His kickoffs frequently landed in or beyond the end zone.
