I just got a reply back from a buddy that is an actual publish arachnologist and he confirms it's Zoropsidae (the false wolf spiders, and the family including the widley suggested Titiotus).

Thanks, I also thought it was a wolf or false wolf as well from some minor googling. I appreciate you reaching out to your friend for the expert opinion!
