On his way to becoming a professional, Herrman was called up 26 times to the German junior national team (U15 - U19).
"From the second team of VfL Wolfsburg, he went to KV Kortrijk in Belgium in the summer of 2021. He has thirteen games in the top division for the Belgian first division club. After a season with NAC Breda in the Dutch second division, he joined Mannheim in the summer of 2023. "
