He doesn’t really need a defense. He says nothing that’s demeaning about his son
Frankly I think he builds him up the entire post but explains why he might not end up a cougar.
I feel like you missed the mark here. Respectfully IFB

Dumb question: Can BYU help him get in as a preferred walk on? IOW,

I think that only assures him a spot on the team, but doesn't guarantee he'd be admitted to BYU.

If BYU offers him PWO status, he should be able to get in with those academics
