Carla Viegas has spent the past two seasons playing collegiately at Florida State. However, she’s elected to end that career to return overseas and start a professional one.

Per On3’s Talia Goodman, Viegas will be leaving the Seminoles. She’ll be doing so to return home and play in her country of Spain.

“BREAKING: Florida State’s Carla Viegas is leaving college basketball to play professionally in Spain, sources told @On3sports,” Goodman tweeted on Sunday.

Viegas played a pair of seasons for FSU and made 61 appearances with the ‘Noles. In that time in Tallahassee, Viegas averaged 5.2 points per game on 40% shooting from the field and 39.8% from three. She improved those stats in 33 games, including 17 starts, as a sophomore by posting 6.0 points at clips of 41.8% overall and 43.2% from distance. That had her top-five on the team in scoring while being their second-leading three-point shooter at their best percentage from deep.

Viegas has plenty of experience from playing back home as a native of Malaga, Spain. She played for
CAB Estepona in the Spanish League while also appearing for Team Spain in several events from U16 through U18 like the U17 World Championship in 2022 and FIBA U18 European Championship in 2023.

This is the second loss of the offseason for Florida State. The other is just as, if not more so, notable with the transfer of Ta’Niya Latson (25.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.2 steals as a junior), their leader in assists the past two seasons and leader in scoring and steals in each of her three years in the program.

Florida State has lost two of their better players now since the end of the season. They just won’t be losing Viegas to another college program, though, with her decision to return to her home country.
