Help Motivate an Honors Kid to Be Interested in College

Hi everyone! My younger brother is currently a junior in high school and is a great student but for some reason has no interest in the college search process. He has an SAT of 2030, a GPA of 4.32/4.5, a class rank of 12/230 students, a 2 sport varsity athlete, and is an NHS member. He has the ability of getting accepted into some great schools. My parents took him to tour a ton of colleges such as Notre Dame, Villanova, UVA, Umass Amherst, BC, BU, and UConn trying to get him interested but he just says every school "is fine" and leaves us with no idea of which he likes best no matter how many times we ask. He also has no clue what he wants to major in. We feel he might like business but he refuses to look into any majors. Clearly this is very frustrating for my family. We know the root of his resistance to the college search is most likely because he is afraid of all of the change and it overwhelms him but the only way for him to ensure a smooth of a transition as possible into college is to research and find the place he will be happiest at. Any advice on how to guide him in the direction of looking into colleges would be extremely helpful.
