I just changed my pleco tanks and he has gotten really light. Will he be ok?

As long as it's eating, you should be okay. Body color can change for a lot of reasons. What did you change? Just a water change? Or do you mean rearranging the tank?
Cheers,

I moved him to a completely new tank I just got, and I literally moved him seconds ago so I have no idea if he’s eating. If it would help I can post a pic of what he looked like before

That'd be normal colouration for a fish that's just moved. As long as it eats within a day or two it should be fine.
