Alan Zemaitis (August 24, 1982 in Spencerport, New York) is a professional American football cornerback. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 4th round (#122 overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft and currently plays in the Canadian Football League for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

NFL

The 6-2, 200-pound Zemaitis was considered a perfect fit for the Buccaneers’ Cover 2 defensive scheme: a big, physical defensive back who was equally comfortable in man-to-man or zone coverage. He played sparingly in 2006 due to injury and was released by the Buccaneers in the final 2007 pre-season roster cuts, September 1, 2007. He tried out for the Cleveland Browns in July 2008, but was not offered a contract.

He was signed by Hamilton as a free agent on August 29, 2008.

Penn State

At Penn State University, Zemaitis, a tri-captain, was a three-time All-Big Ten cornerback and was second team All-America in 2005. He was a semifinalist for the 2005 Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation’s top defensive back. Zemaitis helped lead Penn State to an 11-1 record and a Big Ten championship in 2005. His three interceptions in the season finale at Michigan State helped seal a 31-22 victory that gave the Nittany Lions the title.

Despite a violent car accident in January of 2003 that left him with several head wounds, Zemaitis played in every Penn State game over his four years and started 34 of his last 35. He finished his career with 181 tackles, and broke the Big Ten and Penn State single-season records with 207 interception return yards in 2003.

Personal

He attended Spencerport High School in Spencerport, New York.
