Just relax. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

Make him wear a collard shirt tucked in, make sure he follows the " only speak unless spoken to rule " and be sure he is polite. You should be okay if he follows those rules.

Mom, this is your future son-in-law
here's one suggestion! maybe instead of the usual "have him over for family dinner," invite him over to bake or cook a favorite dish with you. a quick, easy dinner for two or some simple but fun-to-make dessert, like brownies, cookies, or cake. something you both can interact with each other while making. when he comes over though, make sure he's dressed neatly and just kindly and happily introduce him, making sure he's polite back to her. let her know beforehand that he's coming to bake with you though!
while your mom's at home as you two are in the kitchen, (instead of like at a dinner where it can get awkward with "meeting the boyfriend" conversations), you'll both be somewhat occupied with cooking, and so conversation between him and your mom for the first time can be less stressful on him. plus, your mom will be seeing you and him having fun together while doing something helpful and sweet that can no doubt win her approval (making dinner with the bf is the best!). it'd make her feel more comfortable about the guy her daughter is dating.
after the meal is done, all three of you can enjoy and talk casually, and overall, something like that will be a whole lot more easygoing of a meeting than how people usually do it! good luck! it's not that bad!
