Since 2011, Sherrill is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2018, he was awarded the status of Fellow in the American Physical Society, after he was nominated by their Division of Nuclear Physics in 1998, for his contributions to the field of radioactive beams, especially for development of innovative ion-optical techniques, and for their use in the measurement of breakup momentum distributions and obtaining their relation to the momentum wavefunctions of weakly bound nuclei. The same year, he also was awarded with the Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics.
