I know that Nevada, Bob and BBRef have opinions (all of which I value) on this. Help me out, is it legal?
A player doesn't need religious reasons to wear pants. Any player can wear pants for any reason.

And I think Nevada is wrong that tights aren't pants (for purposes of legality in this situation). I have no doubt they qualify - at least until the NFHS gets into the business of defining pants material and fit - as pants for the purposes of this rule.
