Game Mechanics: He doesn't talk. Easiest way to dismiss somebody from having to talk is to have him asleep. No excuses for no speech.
Storywise: If you just spent the entire evening searching for your team, fighting packs of Covenant by yourself, recovering a friendly alien from the enemy's clutches, and escaping from the city with capital ships glassing it from above, you'd probably be sleeping as well.
I do like, however, how he happens to be the only one rendered unconscious by the crash landing. Everybody else got down and immediately jumped into the action while the rookie was sleeping AGAIN. Maybe he suffers from Narcolepsy and actually just randomly fell asleep during the crash. He probably also falls asleep during the flashback levels, which is why we have to play them until he wakes up.
