Sure he can. He just has to be a citizen.
In order to join the military, you have to be either a US Citizen or a Permanent Alien Resident.

No. Only US citizens and green card holders can enlist. There are no waivers. There are no exceptions.

I believe anyone from any country may join the US Military. There is likely some background checks and they cannot do every job the military offers (e.g. Intelligence), but we will accept anyone.

If he is a non-citizen resident of the U.S. and doesn't have a visa to reside here, then he's an illegal alien. Ergo, he can't enlist.
