Academy and reserve

Tessmann moved to the FC Dallas academy in 2016 from the BUSA soccer academy in his home state of Alabama.[4][5] In 2019, whilst with the Dallas academy, Tessmann also appeared for the club's professional USL League One affiliate team North Texas SC.[6]

FC Dallas

[edit]

Following his time with FC Dallas and North Texas SC, Tessmann committed to play both college soccer and college football, as a kicker,[7] at Clemson University.[8] However, on February 27, 2020, Tessmann opted to play professional soccer and signed with Major League Soccer side FC Dallas as a homegrown player.[9]

Tessmann made his Dallas debut on February 29, 2020, starting and tallying an assist in a 2–0 win over Philadelphia Union.[10] Over the course of the 2020 season Tessmann played in 19 matches, starting 9 times and playing a total of 1001 minutes.[11] With FC Dallas having qualified for the 2020 MLS playoffs, he made his postseason debut in the first round and successfully converted a penalty in a Shootout victory against the Portland Timbers. He made his first postseason start in the next round, a 1–0 loss to Seattle Sounders FC.

In 2021 he continued to gain first team experiences, starting 6 of the first 12 matches for FC Dallas and playing a total of 452 minutes across 7 appearances.

Venezia

[edit]

On July 15, 2021, Tessmann signed for newly promoted Serie A side Venezia.[12][13]

Lyon

[edit]

On 27 August 2024, Tessmann joined French club Lyon.[14]

International career

[edit]

In January 2021, Tessmann was called up to the senior national team. He made his debut in a 7–0 win against Trinidad and Tobago.[15] Following that game, Tessmann was named to the United States under-23 team for the 2020 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship after Ulysses Llanez dropped out with an injury.[16] They would fail to qualify for the Olympics.

On October 8, 2023, Tessman was called up to the United States men's national under-23 soccer team ahead of friendlies against Mexico and Japan.[17]
