Ozark trail 24 derailleur

I bought this bike for my son. When riding with him I hear his chain slapping all around. So I'm thinking about switching out his derailleur for something with a clutch. It currently has a micro shift 8 sp. Has anyone put an acolyte derailleur on this bike? The M5185 has a clutch and I think will work with his freewheel cassette.

What do you think?

Update: Acolyte does work! I installed the derailleur and the matching shifter, set of new matching brake levers since the old one was brake/shifter combo. Swapped the pedals and grips for a pop or color. Everything works great!
