Carlos Moreno became a starter at the setter position for the BYU men’s volleyball team the day he stepped foot on campus in 2002. He quickly became the centerpiece of the Cougars’ potent offense and in his three years at BYU recorded an impressive 4,628 assists to become the school’s all-time leader for career assists in the rally scoring era.
The setter from Sao Paulo, Brazil, helped lead the Cougars to back-to-back NCAA Championship game appearances in 2003 and 2004. BYU finished as the national runner-up in 2003 and Moreno was named to the AVCA All-America Second Team and All-MPSF Second Team. In 2004, Moreno became the first BYU volleyball player to be named the AVCA National Player of the Year after leading BYU to an MPSF Championship and its third NCAA Championship. That same year he received almost every award possible for a collegiate volleyball player, being named MVP of the NCAA Tournament, MPSF Player of the Year, MPSF Tournament MVP and receiving AVCA All-America First Team and All-MPSF First Team honors.
Moreno broke his first school record in 2002 with 84 assists against No. 6 Stanford for the most assists in a single match in the rally scoring era. He later posted matches with 79 assists, 77 assists and 76 assists to claim the top four spots for most assists in a single match. The setter set his second school record with 1,567 assists in 2003, marking the most assists in a single season in the rally scoring era. He broke his own record the very next year with an incredible 1,689 assists. Since the start of the rally scoring era at BYU, Moreno also ranks No. 4 in sets played in a single season (121), No. 7 at BYU in career service aces (73), No. 10 in career solo blocks (25) and No. 10 in career sets played (328).
Following his outstanding collegiate career, Moreno embarked on a successful 11-year professional volleyball career where he helped lead his teams to league championships in Brazil, France and Slovenia. The setter was recognized as one of the top setters in the CEV Champions League after leading his team to the 2013 European Championship.
Moreno received his bachelor’s degree in communications from BYU in 2008 and was named the associate head women’s volleyball coach at Arizona State in 2018. He currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, with his wife, Maria Eduarda dos Santos Moreno, and their 2-year-old son, Lucas dos Santos Moreno.
