David Côté (born November 20, 1996) is a Canadian former professional football placekicker who played for four seasons for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He is a Vanier Cup champion after winning with the Laval Rouge et Or in 2018 and he is a Grey Cup champion after winning with the Alouettes in 2023.
Before playing at the university level, Côté played at the high school level for Académie Saint-Louis as a receiver/kicker and at the "cégep" level for Campus Notre-Dame-de-Foy (CNDF) as a kicker. Côté then played U Sports football for the Laval Rouge et Or from 2017 to 2019.[1] He was named a U Sports Second-team All-Canadian in 2018 after connecting on 19 of 23 field goal attempts and being successful on all 26 of his point-after-touchdown converts.[2] He finished that season as a Vanier Cup champion after the Rouge et Or completed an undefeated season and were victorious over the Western Mustangs in the 54th Vanier Cup.[3] In that game, Côté was successful on both field goal attempts and all four convert tries.[4] He did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 U Sports football season and remained draft-eligible for the Canadian Football League in 2021.
