Club career
Academy and reserve
Tessmann moved to the FC Dallas academy in 2016 from the BUSA soccer academy in his home state of Alabama.[2][3] In 2019, whilst with the Dallas academy, Tessmann also appeared for the club's professional USL League One affiliate team North Texas SC.[4]
FC Dallas
Following his time with FC Dallas and North Texas SC, Tessmann committed to play both college soccer and college football, as a kicker,[5] at Clemson University.[6] However, on February 27, 2020, Tessmann opted to play professional soccer and signed with Major League Soccer side FC Dallas as a homegrown player.[7]
Tessmann made his Dallas debut on February 29, 2020, starting and tallying an assist in a 2–0 win over Philadelphia Union.[8] Over the course of the 2020 season Tessmann played in 19 matches, starting 9 times and playing a total of 1001 minutes.[9] 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

International career
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.[12] 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.[13] 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.[14]
