COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Rapids 2 defender Jabari De Coteau has been named to Grenada’s Men’s National Team for the upcoming Concacaf Nations League qualifiers, the Grenada Football Association announced. He will be with his nation in Cuba from November 9 to 17 for a set of two matches. 

De Coteau and Grenada will start their slate of matches on November 13 against St. Kitts and Nevis and on November 16 against Cuba. 

The 20-year-old is receiving the third call up of his career for Grenada’s senior national team, with all three coming within the last six months. De Coteau earned his first selection back in March of this year, where he eventually made his international debut in a friendly match against Rwanda on March 27. His most recent call up came last month for their first set of Concacaf Nations League qualifiers, where he appeared in one match against St. Kitts and Nevis. 

The defender signed with Rapids 2 on January 26 after Colorado selected him with the 86th overall pick in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft. In 21 appearances with the club this season, the defender posted 17 starts and logged 1,615 minutes, the third most on the team. He also recorded his first professional and Rapids 2 assist in their 1-0 win over against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, helping the team secure their first win of the season.  

In August, De Coteau was loaned to Colorado Springs Switchbacks where he has made four appearances with one assist. 

Before beginning his MLS NEXT Pro career, the New York native spent three seasons at Xavier University, where he made 37 appearances and 15 starts while totaling 1,677 minutes on the pitch. During his time with the Musketeers, the defender was part of the program’s historic 2023 campaign, helping Xavier capture its first BIG EAST Tournament Championship.
