You said, "Only his mother and 1 brother were called for appointments and
became citizen." What happened to the father then?
Anyway, on/after 10/5/1978, if he was an LPR before the statutory age of 18
when both parents naturalized (provided he resided with parent(s)), he
derived citizenship at the same time his parents naturalized.
As with many in a similar situation, eventually he might encounter problems
proving citizenship if he has not yet obtained documentation to prove that
he derived US citizenship. He would then need to obtain a certificate of US
citizenship and/or a US passport.
