They likely denied his visa application because they didn't have sufficient assurance that he would leave the US after his stay here. This is a very common reason for denial. Referencing a US citizen in the process won't help or hurt you or him. He will have to wait six months before applying again, and he should only do so if he has evidence of stronger ties to his home country by then.
