Yes, it could be apraxia.
Can the child form his lips into a circle to, say, blow out a birthday candle?
With the help of SLP, people with apraxia can learn to speak. In the interim, is your friend being encouraged to teach him to sign? If he turns out to be just a "late talker," there's no harm in learning this skill.
