I believe this is a species of trapdoor spider. Quite a fan of how these guys look. Supposedly, their bites can be a bit painful, but their venom (almost all spiders are venomous) is generally harmless to humans.
The closest match I could find was a Mouse Spider??
He was quite a surprise when we were digging a hole for a flower plant! We uncovered his/her tunnel. It was impressive as he was.
Hopefully, we didn’t kill him.
