Kevin Sherrer (born March 19, 1973) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the defensive coordinator for the University of Tennessee. He previously served as the outside linebackers coach at Georgia (2014–2017), the defensive coordinator at South Alabama (2013), the Director of Player Development at Alabama (2010–2012), and as a high school assistant coach at Hoover High School, Spain Park High School, and Tuscaloosa County. He played college football at Alabama.
A native of Oneonta, Alabama, Sherrer played tight end and linebacker at Cleveland High School in nearby Cleveland. He was named All-State in 1990. Sherrer played tight end at Alabama from 1993 to 1995, lettering in the latter year. He graduated with a degree in physical education in 1996, and earned his master's degree in higher education administration from Alabama in 2000.
Sherrer began coaching as an assistant at Tuscaloosa County High School in 1996, and helped the team win the state championship during his second year on the staff in 1997. In 1998, he returned to the University of Alabama, serving as a graduate assistant on the staff of head coach Mike DuBose. During his tenure as a GA with the Tide, he assisted with defense, scout teams, and recruiting.
From 2001 to 2004, Sherrer served as defensive backs coach at Spain Park High School in Hoover, Alabama. During his four years with Spain Park, the team steadily improved, finishing with a 9-4 record and reaching the state quarterfinals in 2004. In 2005, Sherrer joined the staff at Hoover High School, reuniting with college teammate (and future collegiate coaching colleague) Jeremy Pruitt. He initially served as an assistant with Hoover before taking over as defensive coordinator in 2007 following Pruitt's departure.
