+1 Carleton sounds like a great fit from what you've described, assuming he's serious about his academics.

Carleton is the most into ultimate of probably any school, though that does mean it's far more competitive to make their D-I men's team (one of the top in the country). They also have a D-III men's team that is very strong (I think they're the only school to play in both D-I and D-III, because so many students there play).

The good news if your son would like to play is that tons of colleges have ultimate teams, both A teams and B (developmental) teams. LACs are mostly in D-III. Here are all the D-III men's teams: https://play.usaultimate.org/teams/events/team_rankings/?RankSet=College-Men
Teams higher in the rankings will be more competitive to get on, though having high school experience is definitely helpful.

So almost anywhere he'd be interested in going would have a team. They're not no-cut, but their B-teams may be no-cut (something he can look into further once he's narrowed down what schools he's interested in, if that's an issue).
