Hi. First off there are no recluse spiders that far north, you won’t find them there.
Your spider, a very harmless funnel weaver, Eratigena atrica species, the giant house spider. They are about as harmless as spiders come, zero threat.
I find them cool spiders to have around. These males are wandering looking for true love, so do stray indoors now and then, I simply coral them with hands, pick them up and put them outside or in the garage out of the way. https://spiderid.com/spider/agelenidae/eratigena/atrica/

Everything I’ve read online is pointing to brown recluse and I’m just hoping someone can tell me otherwise
