He comes to practice daily and is extremely slow. But, he does not bend his knees so I feel like this is the issue. His 800m PR is 2:31 and 1600 is 5:36.

You should ask your teammate why he does not bend his knees. How the hell should we know?
I know. I've seen this condition before.Frankenstein had it. (And he always thought he was slow because he had "dead legs")

Is your teammate a race walker?
Mr. Potato Head is incapable of altering the bend of his knees. Seriously, I thought you would know this.
What does his diet look like? I would suggest he increases his daily banana intake. Also has he looked into metal knee replacements?
How can you run without bending your knees?
What does your coach have to say about it?
I'm fascinated by this. Do you have a video by any chance?
I have a photo, if you'd like.
Yes
I had a girl on my team years ago who did this. Lots of drills- going over mini hurdles, butt kicks high knee marching helped.
Hills.
In my experience this almost always stems from a lack of leg strength.
