What's the best way for a player to get noticed by college coaches?

I would think it would be worth the money spent to go to the camp of a school you liked.
Kids who can make all-state as soph or junior tend to get noticed.
What else should they do? Random Tuesday topic.

Get their high school/travel team/club coach to talk to some of their connections.

Camp, camp, and more camps.

Attend Sparq events if for some reason you think your kid is some sleeper athlete.
Mostly, if you're that good then you're going to get noticed and get invited to the stuff anyways.
Not true. I had a teammate who was all-state Freshman, sophomore and senior year, due to a torn ACL his junior season, and he had one division one offer (Baylor), but he did start all four years.
I was also a second-team all-state player in Texas and only had preferred walk on offers.

Absolutely. If you are good, they will notice. These camps tend to play lots of scrimmages, and the top players stick out. When I went to a camp in 7th grade, there were two kids in particular who the coaches were very intrigued by.

Post links to your player's HUDL video on the SECRecruiting Board every week, for about a year.

Camps.
If the athlete is good enough, a lot of college programs have advanced camps that players are invited to.
If players stick out in those advanced camps, they'll typically be approached by coaches, have transcripts/test scores requested, coaches will tell the athlete they'll keep an eye on them, or the coaches might just offer the player if they stand out above the rest at the camp.

If you have to actively promote the kid, he's not going anywhere worth going to

Recruiting services have film on just about everyone they want to. Then a school pays student workers $5 an hour to go through the film and sum it up.

Grow him big. My son just finished high school started two years as defensive end, went to camps and dominated (because of technique), won a state championship, all state, all parish, all district, all metro he is 6'1 225 clocked a 4.6 40. Cited as top performer at Pete Jenkins D-line camp at Nichols, Top line backer at a SLU camp, top linebacker at a NSU camp, praised for drill performance at LSU camps. Offers? Lukewarm walk on offer to Mcneese, 1 DIII and 1 DII. 6'4 guys next to him at camps with no technique, speed or ability to tie shoe is getting drooled on by coaches
