Francis Tanner James Tessmann (born September 24, 2001) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Lyon and the United States national team.

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.[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

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

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

Lyon

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

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.[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]
