COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (August 18, 2026) – Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC announced today that it has acquired forward Bryce Jamison and defender Jabari De Coteau from MLS club Colorado Rapids. The agreement is pending league and federation approval.
With the Colorado Rapids, Jamison has primarily featured for the club’s second team, making 18 appearances while recording two goals and 1,092 minutes of playing time.
“Bryce (Jamison) is a highly talented, proven player at USL Championship level,” said Head Coach Alan McCann. “His ceiling will carry him beyond our league in the future. He will immediately add to our firepower and make us a more devastating threat in the final third.”
Before playing for the Rapids, Jamison spent four seasons with USL Championship club Orange County SC, signing at the age of 16. Throughout his time with the club, he has scored 11 goals and 11 assists in 98 appearances.
Jamison started his development playing for Barcelona’s Residency Academy in Arizona, playing for both their U-17 and U-19 teams. Netting seven goals in 13 appearances, Jamison was a key player to watch, earning him a spot on the inaugural MLS NEXT All-Star team.
On an international level, Jamison has been called to represent the United States U-20 Men’s national team this year, making two appearances and scoring one goal. He has also previously represented the U.S. U-17 and U-19 teams, earning a combined 10 appearances.
“I’m really excited to join the Switchbacks for the final part of the season,” said Jamison. “It’s a great opportunity to come in, get to know the group, and contribute in any way I can.”
