This is just a guess, and by no means certain, but offhand I’d say it’s a male Trapdoor Spider. Female Trapdoor Spiders live in burrows their entire lives, appearing briefly to snatch prey, and then retreating underground. Male Trapdoor Spiders live in burrows until they mature, at which point they leave their burrows (often on rainy nights) and go wandering in search of females. That is likely how this one ended up in your house. If you release him outside at night, he should continue his frenetic search for a mate.

You are quite welcome! I’m glad I was able to help.
