After starting professionally with local Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense, Prass joined Associação Atlética Francana in 2000, moving after one season to another modest side, Vila Nova Futebol Clube.
In 2002, he signed for Coritiba Foot Ball Club, spending four seasons at the club. Subsequently, Prass moved abroad and joined Portugal's U.D. Leiria, as compatriot Helton left the team to join Portuguese first division powerhouse F.C. Porto. He made his league debut on 11 September 2005, in a 0–0 home draw against C.S. Marítimo, and retained first-choice status from that moment onwards.
In the 2006–07 season, Prass only missed two league games as Leiria finished seventh and qualified for the UEFA Intertoto Cup, eventually being one of the competition's winners and appearing in the UEFA Cup, being ousted by Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the first round (4–5 on aggregate). The following season, the club dropped down to the second division.
After appearing in 14 matches to help União return to the top flight in the following season, 31-year old Prass returned to his country and signed for Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama, playing in the second division for the first time in 110 years of history. As first-choice, he helped the Rio de Janeiro side finish as champions and promote back, with the best defensive record in the league.
