It COULD be, given its shape, but I think it might actually be an invasive huntsman spider because of how fuzzy and light colored it is. Hard to tell size from the pic though. Did it have the violin shaped marking? I can’t tell because of the lighting, but I don’t see one.
It wasn’t very big, maybe the size of a nickel. It did have a violin shape on its back but as you said its very light colored.
Here’s another option: https://bugguide.net/node/view/347796/bgimage Mediterranean recluses are in Florida, they could be in Georgia. That was one of the responses from the Google Lens app and I checked the range. Huntsmen, Heteropoda (different feet) venatoria has feet that all point in different directions. I don’t see that here.
