Maybe if you read the article, you will understand better. Many people have been misgendering him, and this is super common for trans people early in transition and/or trans kids to be frequently misgendered.

FYI, being non-binary doesnt mean someone uses they/them pronouns. Pronouns =/= gender

Actually read the article youre responding to -

I read it before my first post and it says nothing about why they switched pronouns. Apparently he used both he/him and they/them pronouns.

Ally, who uses they/them pronouns and asked to go by only their first name to protect their privacy, said in an interview that they were close friends with Nex.
It was one of those things where you meet them and you automatically feel like youve known them for years kind of thing, Ally said Sunday before a vigil for Nex, whom they met at the start of the school year. They were such an adventurous little thing. It was never really a dull moment with them.

Ally said Nex primarily went by he/him pronouns at school but also used they/them pronouns, which Nex's family also used. Several other friends said Nex preferred he/him pronouns.
