Rust is what you need. Rust fixes every problem in C and introduces many new ways of protecting your code from buffer overruns.

Familiarity with standard programming constructs (loops, functions, etc.) would help but I wouldn't consider it a prerequisite - all of that stuff is covered from the bottom up, just quickly. K&R C is very well written though...there's a reason it's considered a classic piece of technical writing.

Then why does my OS class at my university teach C and ASM and not Rust

Because Rust knowledge is only available to NEETs.

It would help to have some introductory programming experience.

C is a very low-level language.

If you want a good understanding of C, at some point you'll need to take a course on Operating Systems and basic Computer Architecture

That's a bit much. I think as long as he has a very basic understanding of computer architecture, he can start programming in C.
