@AustenNut gave a pretty comprehensive list! My DC has similar stats. Found great merit McDaniel, Allegheny, Juniata, St. Mary’s (MD), Susquehanna. (No Greek at St. Mary’s or Juniata.) Dickinson gave merit and a nice grant (and is low-key Greek).

Target any school where he is in the top of the applicant pool. If you are a straight-forward married, W-2 family, the NPCs were quiet accurate for us.

A friend, with similar stats to your DC just committed St. Joseph’s in Philly. Kid and parents loved their visits.

Shepherd in WV was mentioned. A few years ago, they had a very, very low graduation rate - like less than 50% (so while your DC will graduate, he may not do it with most of the kids he started with). And it was a lot of transfers. Red flags for me.
