Cerrillo committed to playing college soccer at the University of Maryland, but opted to sign a Homegrown Player contract with Major League Soccer side FC Dallas on February 14, 2019. He made his professional debut as a 79th-minute substitute in a 2–0 win over LA Galaxy on March 9, 2019. On August 23, 2020, Cerrillo scored his first professional goal while on loan to North Texas SC. On August 3, 2023, Cerrillo was traded to LA Galaxy in exchange for up to $600,000 in General Allocation Money, with $200,000 guaranteed and $400,000 that's conditional on performance metrics. Dallas also retained a sell-on percentage.


International career

Cerrillo was called up on the back of good league form to the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup; although, he did not play in that tournament. He was subsequently called up to the United States national under-23 team for a camp later during the 2019 MLS season. He is also eligible to play for Mexico.
