This is a very harmless grass spider in the Agelenopsis genus, and certainly nothing to be concerned with.
I think your little friend here is male, probably wandered inside by mistake.
Their close cousin, the giant house spider can get a lot bigger, but still, no worries.
I used to play with such spiders as a kid, quick if you spook them, and these even make good pet spiders.
