Dos Santos started his career with Palmeiras Meltex of his native Brazil and also played for Paulistano Unimed Sao Paolo before joining Flamengo. He helped Paulistano win the Paulista League in 2017 and the Brazilian League in 2018. Dos Santos has also been a member of the Brazilian national team. He is set to make his 7DAYS EuroCUp debut with Ulm next season.
"With Yago, we were able to convince a very exciting player to play for ratiopharm ulm. Despite his young age, he has already gained a wide range of experience at a high level," Ulm sports director Thorsten Leibenath said. "At the same time, his game will still be able to develop. It was important to us to find a player who can create space for teammates, but who is also able to go to the basket himself in a variety of ways."
