Club career
Prass began his career as a schoolboys player at LASK Linz. Between 2009 and 2010 he played at FC Pasching before returning to LASK. For the 2012/13 season he moved to the youth team of FC Red Bull Salzburg, where he would later also play in the academy.

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 SK Sturm Graz, where he received a contract until June 2024, extending this for a year in July 2022 to bring him to end of the 2024/25 season.[2]
