Help make my son's college list [NY resident, 97 GPA; possibly pre-PT]

No, I do not have any particular insight for a health sciences major other than large universities such as UNC, Ohio State, and other universities with major sports programs. To the best of my limited understanding, large universities offer a lot of sophisticated opportunities for those seeking to become physical therapists. Unfortunately, large public universities usually involves large lecture classes during one’s first year of college.

OP: Are you researching “health science” as a major or are you/your son considering exercise science, kinesiology, biology, chemistry, etc. ? I ask because health science areas also include business/management majors with a focus on the health industry.

If your son wants to become a physical therapist, why not look for those programs ?
