OP, what about a very small amount of an air-dry cream? They can help some texture and control without adding to the oil situation.
I think bumble and bumble has one. And others likely at Target or similar.

I have super straight, greasy hair. Most products make my hair limp, greasy, stringy etc, so i don't bother - because with straight hair it doesn't need taming. So mostly just hair spray for me when I need something. DS's hair is more untamed and needs something to keep it in check, or he looks like a homeless person. DH's 'rule' is that if he wants to keep long hair, he needs to use product in it. This doesn't seem an unreasonable negotiation with a 13 year old boy.
To the dad/teacher above who apparently is a smarter better parent than me: My DS is ASD. He's not, however, an a**hole like you.
But you are.

What products do you use, OP? My son has curly hair like mine, and we just use the same Aveda products.

What about a salt spray to add some texture and give it that tousled look?

MAKES him?
You both need to back off. Help him if he asks for advice. Otherwise let him be.

Ds is 13. Hair is longish (probably 5 inch strands hitting to chin and layers above). DH always makes him use hair product to tame it, but it immediately looks greasy, and by after school looks like a Grease bomb. Ds gets his oily hair from me, DH isn’t familiar with that hair type.
Suggestions for teen boy hair products to tame almost chin length hair without grease?
