This is often a misreported number because most studies do not include NCAA Division III, NAIA and all Junior Colleges. If you were to take the total number of High School Participants (7,092,999) and the Total Number of College Participants (581,077) you are looking at more than 8%. Obviously that is a rough number and doesn't take into account graduating seniors to available freshmen positions but it gives you a ballpark number. It also ranges greatly by sport.
