yitzman1: Read my above post.
If Ner is too far and/or too Yeshivish for your bro, consider Yeshiva of New Haven (Connecticut). They have smaller class sizes, put a stronger emphasis on secular studies then many yeshivos and is closer to Flatbush than Ner is.
If theses two don’t fit i don’t have too much more info to help you out with in regards to other yeshivos but perhaps Waterbury is the right place for him.
Good Luck/Hatzlacha Rabba!
