Yes
Common in western half of Ky. The Mediterranean recluse is an introduced species that shows up occasionally. If this is from a private residence then I doubt it is a Mediterranean recluse

I agree, looks like a Brown Recluse. While a little blurry, the eye pattern matches correctly.

Looks like one to me.
Hold on to hear from the spider experts, though.
