In two and a half years with Liefering, he made a total of 59 second division appearances, in which he scored twelve goals.

For the 2021–22 season he moved to Bundesliga club Sturm Graz, where he received a contract until June 2024, extending this for a year in July 2022 to keep him at the club until the end of the 2024–25 season. [3]

On 5 August 2024, Prass signed for German Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim on a long-term contract. [4]
