Alan Zemaitis

The first cornerback to appear on the list is Alan Zemaitis.

During his career as a Nittany Lion, Zemaitis absolutely shut down receivers on his side of the field.  He was a captain for three straight seasons and a three time All Big Ten selection.

In his sophomore year, Zemaitis led the NCAA with 207 interception return yards.  In his senior year in 2005, he helped the Nittany Lions win the Big Ten championship and earned second team All-American honors.
