Mi'yauna 'Mimi' Ross: The Most Versatile Player You Haven't Heard Enough About

By Coach Rob DiMauro

Mi'yauna "Mimi" Ross is one of the more versatile players you'll come across right now in girls flag football, and that shows up immediately when you turn on the film. She's not tied to one position. She impacts the game from multiple spots, and that's what makes her difficult to game plan for.

At Seminole High School, she's been used across the board. Quarterback, receiver, and safety. Not just lining up there, but producing at each spot.

Offensively, she forces attention. In 11 recorded games, she's accounted for 748 passing yards, 336 rushing yards, and 312 receiving yards, totaling 20 touchdowns. That kind of distribution tells you she's not dependent on one role or one system. You can move her around, and she still finds ways to affect the game.

What stands out isn't just the versatility, it's how she plays within it. When she's at quarterback, she's creating with both her arm and her legs. When she's at receiver, she's a problem in space. She understands how to separate and make plays after the catch.

Defensively is where she really separates.

She's been a true ballhawk on the back end, with 20 interceptions and 10 pass deflections, along with nearly 400 return yards off those turnovers. That's not just production, that's field-flipping impact. Possessions change, momentum shifts, and games tilt when you have a player taking the ball away at that rate.

Ranking sixth nationally in interceptions puts that into perspective. That's not just a local impact, that's production that stands up across the country.

Her recognition as Seminole County Flag Football Athlete of the Year lines up with what shows up on the field. Players who can contribute at that level on both sides of the ball, while maintaining consistency, don't come around often.

From an evaluation standpoint, the versatility is real, but the instincts are what carry it. She finds the ball. Whether it's in her hands on offense or tracking it in the air defensively, she's around the play more often than not.

As a junior, that's the part that stands out for Seminole moving forward. Production is already there, but there's still another year to build on it. Players like this give you flexibility as a staff and problems for opponents every single week.

For the Seminole "Fighting Noles," she's not just a contributor. She's a matchup piece, and going into next season, she's going to be one of the focal points teams have to account for.
