<human>: I had posted to /r/etiquette, but I'm wondering if I will get more responses here.

I know this isn't the smartest idea, but I wanted an opinion if this is completely unprofessional and unheard of.

My SO (M21) Dan and I are both college students majoring in completely different fields. I have secured an internship for the upcoming summer. He also applied to that same company but for a very separate department due to our differing majors. He never heard back, but it's been over a month since he applied.

I had been in contact with one of the future interns, and she told me that she notified the company she was retracting her offer acceptance to work with another company. Her position is in the field that Dan is studying.

Could I email my recruiter and professionally let her know "hey, I know that someone dropped an internship position late in the game, if you're looking to quickly fill the position opening my SO is interested and capable?" I would not serve as his reference or attest to his ability - just simply letting my recruiter know of his interest as a candidate and that he would act quickly. I would also state that he is my SO to be completely transparent and upfront of my bias.

My recruiter is not someone I'll be working under for the summer, and my SO and I would be working in completely different departments, so I'm wondering if this is okay - or if my recruiter would be appalled and that would hurt me down the line. I haven't actually started interning there, so I don't know if it's in my right to suggest anyone or name-drop.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: There's an internship opening for the company I will be interning at this upcoming summer in a different department. I'm wondering if I can name-drop my boyfriend to my recruiter in an email.
