If he meets the requirements below you can claim him.

The 4 tests that will qualify a relative as a dependent are:

Qualifying Child: They are not the “qualifying child” of another taxpayer or your “qualifying child”.
Gross Income: The dependent being claimed earns less than $4,050 in 2017.
Total Support: You provide more than half of the total support for the year.
Member of Household or Relationship: The person (a friend, girlfriend, non-blood relative) must live with you all year as a member of your household.
