Thank you both!
Yes, a mole cricket and probably a southern mole cricket (Scapteriscus borellii) - a close up picture of the front claws is helpful for confirming the ID. There are 3 mole cricket species indigenous to the U.S. - the southern mole cricket, the northern mole cricket, and the tawny mole cricket.
Mole Cricket in the family Gryllotalpidae
