Options?

What college options would be available to a 2015 RHP who is relatively unknown due to minor injuries occurring at the worst possible times if he goes to the pre-draft showcase and hits 90-91 with a very sharp curveball?  Son is 602/170 with a 4.2 and a 30 ACT. He only hit 84 over this summer due to a torn hamstring that he was pitching through and this obviously drew no interest.  He will attend a big showcase in the next couple of weeks, however he is coming off a shutdown period and just now got back on the mound so the velocity will not be there yet.  He is working with a VERY well known MLB trainer who assures him that he can easily get him into the 90's over the next few months but I know that the clock is ticking.  Is JUCO likely his only option or will programs be scrambling to fill  last minute spots.  We are just not sure about the timetable for D1/2/3 and high academic schools in particular this late in the game.  What about guaranteed walk on spots at UF or FSU or the like?  Thanks for any help from those in the know.
