yes, your friend can sponsor you. They will need to fill out USCIS paperwork. You will have to be accepted to a school first and have them provide an I-20 for you.

Your friend could indeed seek to sponsor you financially for the payment of your studies and perhaps even living expenses, however, you still need to qualify for the issuance of the student visa yourself.
To learn about the requirements and otherwise become informed of the process consult with an attorney in private.
