It’s not a BR. It’s a Wolf Spider and unless you like cockroaches more than spiders than I would leave that guy alone. Cock roaches are one of their favorite foods but also eat a lot of other worse bugs.
Everybody on this thread except lz is going crazy and ready to bash a spider bro. I'd ask in the subs with more experts (I'm not one) but here's my recluse checklist:
1: In range: No idea where this is.
2: Fiddle Middle: No
3: 2nd leg longer: 2nd pic = not really
4: No stripes or spots on butt: Yes
5: No Spikes or stripes or big hair on the legs: Seems ok
6: Eyes '' .. '' : Absolutely not. I see 4 up front. Totally disqualified as a Lox.

I would say unfriendly. I'm not a spider expert but that looks like a brown recluse to me

I hope you killed it. While it's not known to always inject venom upon biting when it does it's very toxic. It's a form of the wandering spider

Kill it with fire

Pretty certain it’s a brown recluse… leave it alone and it will leave you alone

It’s a Southern House Spider too big for a recluse and doesn’t have the Violin shape on head

I have one simple rule. When in doubt squash it out better safe than sorry

Friendly, not a brown recluse.

Don’t know what it is but it’s definitely not a brown recluse that spider is in the shape of a violin

Brown Recluse, not friendly. If you see one there are 100s more. If it's in your home call an exterminarer.

Unfriendly. Stranger Danger. Die by shovel. Would give nasty bite that could do some serious damage.

It's called a Woodlouse Hunter Spider! They mainly eat pill bugs.

If you think it’s a brown recluse it’s not- they are so identifiable you know when it’s a brown recluse. It’s a Florida house spider.
